What did I do wrong (no background and other problems)?

alter your htm(l) code on each xxxxxT.htm page.

ANY xxxxT.htm file you modify MUST have a 'safe' copy on your PC.

As stated earlier, if / when you update Cumulus software the default Templates will be overwritten - so you will need to copy your edited files back

... and yes, you DID ftp your indexT.htm to your site
REMOVE any xxxxT.htm from your WEB SITE (unless you want to put them there for security)

Cumulus processes the 'standard' Template files on your PC, then uploads them without the T

So I want to edit th W in weather. I opened indexT.htm in notepad, changed the w to a capital. I FTPd the indexT file and now my main page is capitalized. However, all the additional pages are still lowercase. How do I make it capitalized on every page.

You need to edit each of the six template files (one for each page)

Also, can you explain more about making copies of the indexT file? Do I need to save copies even if the "w" is the only edit I make?

Yes. You need to keep copies of all the xxxt.htm pages you change and place them somewhere else -- if you re-install or upgrade Cumulus it will overwrite your changes with it's own standard ones. IN which case you then take your copies and put them back in the 'web' folder under Cumulus on your PC

An idea you could use would be to edit all of your "T" files then rename them and save them somewhere other than the Cumulus folder on your computer. Then in Cumulus under Configure-Intenet UNcheck the "include standard files" box and fill out the boxes below per your location of the new edited T files. Then when you update Cumulus to new versions your edited T files remain unchanged. Over time you will want to relook at your edited files in the event Steve has added new feature that you would want on your web page. I included a screenshot of this for your benefit.

This is indeed how I have always intended it to work. If you want to stick with the standard files, that's fine, but be aware that they are standard and may well be updated from time to time. Once you start editing them, they are no longer standard, they are now yours, and you should really put them somewhere else and use the 'files' tab to upload them. But I accept that the 'files' tab is a bit limited and the whole thing could do with revising to make it more flexible.
