Basic Page changes/edits
Top Bar
By far the simplest changes you can make on the web pages are by changing the stock images.
The pages that are served by default, are stored in C:\Inetpub\home\images\ on the server. So you need to Remote Desktop onto the server to replace these.
The entire top bar of the web page, consists of two images.
- i_topbar.png, which is spanned across 2/3rds of the page
- i_Qlogo_r.png which is shown in the top right hand corner
By changing the following image alone, you can dramatically change the whole look and feel of the website, and make it much more personal.
i_topbar.png <----- Topbar image (across top of page)
i_Qlogo_r.png <--- Logo on top right of top bar
Change Copyright
C:\Inetpub\home\App_GlobalResources/GlobalResources.resx
Line 127 you can edit the value to make your own copyright
<value>Copyright © 2007 Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.</value>
Note: It is very important to backup any changes to the default images you make, as when PP1 was launched the images were reset to the defaults and no doubt PP2 and future releases could do the same.
