Masthead Update for Freepages sites

Friday, May 30th, 2008

If you have a freepages account and wish to change the background color of the acknowledgement banner you will need to follow the instructions below:

1. Create a plain text file named “banner_select” containing only the text, BasicGreen and nothing else. It does not need a .txt file extension.

2. Upload this file to your misc_html directory.

All other sites will use the directions found in our previous article .  If you are encountering difficulties with the new mastheads please contact our HelpDesk .

New Mastheads – Look for them today…

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

As planned, the updated mastheads will start appearing later today. We receive a lot of positive feedback on the content of your sites and are proud to be able to be a small part of your success.

If you would like to change the masthead on your site from the new default gray color to the green masthead please follow the instructions below.

Place a file named “banner_select” in your public_html directory. (Yes, it is a text file, containing only the text listed. But there is no file extension; the file should be named “banner_select”). This file should contain the text “BasicGreen” and nothing else.
Hosted projects who are using custom mastheads have been sent additional emails with specific instructions. If you have not received these instructions please contact the leader of the project you belong to.

If you have questions or feedback please send an email to accounts@rootsweb.com or contact our HelpDesk.

We appreciate your patience and support during these changes.
