Server Requirements
Server requirements if they exist, including the need for FrontPage extensions if FrontPage-based forms are used,
or requirements for database templates.
This template may include a sample FrontPage form. If you want to use FrontPage forms, your web site will need
to be published on a server that has FrontPage extensions. Check with your hosting provider to make sure that you
can use FrontPage forms on your site. If not, you can delete the FrontPage form and create your own scripting for
a form.

Important note for FrontPage Users
This template uses table-based layout, which means that the layout and columns are in tables and use CSS to define
the style and colors.
After you save your page, go to File > Preview in Browser to view your site in a browser and make sure that it really
looks as it should.
Also, occasionally FrontPage's Normal/Design view may "lose" the formatting. When this happens, just hit "F5" to
refresh the view and the styles will return.

=============================
Flash Detection Script - for templates with Flash/Swish only
This template uses the SWFObject (v1.4) Flash detection and embed script provided by Geoff Stearns at
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/. This script detects whether or not the user has the Flash player, and if it
does, it loads in the Flash movie for them to view. If they don't have the Flash player, it displays your alternate
content. The alternate content is what you see in your web editor (a static image or text).
The SWFObject script also resolves the IE update issue where embedded Flash movies require an extra click for
interaction; using the script will allow viewers to interact with the Flash movie directly. The SWFObject script also
allows your web site to have fully validated HTML.
Please be aware that the script may be updated occasionally, and it is your responsibility to visit the SWFObject site
to check for updates and implement them.
