Step 3: Customization your project.
The project page is created using subpages located at "Project Name/Section Name". You can add or remove any section in order to customize your project. The titles and images can be changed by changing the "title=" and the subpage=" parameters. Once you have decided on your sections, you are ready to start creating the sections using the red links.
Changing Colors
To change the frame colors go to the /frame template you created above and change:
- border:1px solid #BFBFFF --> Border size and color.
- background-color:#FFFFFF --> Background color of the boxes.
- <h2 style="background-color:#CCCCFF --> Background color for the titles.
- Color choices can be found at w3schools.com.
- This template is based on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Turnkey Project. A general help page for the Turnkey Project is available here
