Including how to add RSS tags and different web elements to your pages and emails.

I'm attempting to create webpages and archive them using the Godfather, unfortunately it is not clear where to find the location of the following:

1, Archive Template - What does this look like?
2, Index Template - how I want my links to look and where this can be found

You do not go on to explain how this is accomplished - I would very much appreciate it if you could explain the process pointing out where each section can be located on the installed Godfather and Blogbomb etc that requires modifying and how to actually conduct the modifications.

Half the battle and delay in getting the Godfather up and running is trying to figure out where everything is located and then trying to figure out how to make the changes.

I have read the read me and although it explains what is required the read me does not explain where to find these things - The link pointing to the forum has taken me here, and it appears I'm the only one here, as there is no further information.

Much appreciated

Wayne

It looks like however you want it to look like, as it is the template for your site,

Go to "MAILING LISTS".

Select a list.

Click "PREVIEW AND EDIT TEMPLATES".

INDEX TEMPLATE: This is found IN THE INDIVIDUAL MAILING LIST page.

Taken directly from the readme:

This controls how you want each link created to look.

The default is:
<a href="{message_url}">{title}</a> - {date}<br>

Whatever you choose for your list's title will be used as the "anchor text" (clickable text) for your link.

For search engine optimization it is important to have your keyword(s) and your list title may not match your chosen keywords.

You can customize this, for example, replace the "{title}" above, with your keywords:
<a href="{message_url}">Your Keywords</a> - {date}<br>

This will probably help the search engine relevancy of all your archive pages.

Tip: Once GBomb has built a nice archive stuffed with pages, log into your ADMIN and simply change Your Keywords, GBomb will start using the new keywords as soon as your next newsletter is sent.
