    I have my first template ready for uploading but I can't for the life of me get it zip where it will extract into it's own folder. I am using Power Archiver 2001 and have tried both creating a zip with options and creating a named zip (name of the folder). Everytime I open the zip when creating it with the first option I see where it is set to extract a folder named windows with the rest of the windows subfolders inside. Could this have something to do with where I am creating this zip at (on my desktop)?
    Could someone give me a play by play on the correct way/place? or at least where to look?
    thanks...

    I use winzip and just right click on the folder that I have all of my files in and archive it.
    I know winzip has a free demo, so you could give it a shot.

    If you're on Windows XP, just right click on your folder containing the design and go to Send to -> Compressed (zipped) folder.

    Since this thread is resolved, start a new one for comments on your design.

    oleman: it also breaks in Firefox 2, so I suggest serious changes before you upload. You made an error specifying the high of elements in your header. You chose the heights to work perfectly in IE6, which has a bad box model. when tested in better browsers, your design breaks because they use a different box model (or it could just be a text size issue)... I hope I helped.
