Can't get the pagekit to extract properly

Like some others who have posted here, I am still a newbie to the Web Development game. Although I am well-versed in the basics of HTML, etc...I still find templates the way to go when you need a good looking site quickly. Besides, I haven't learned how to create the dynamic elements I see in your pagekits

Anyway, I downloaded the zip file, unzipped it (with a utility OTHER than WinZip), and tried to extract it to a new folder on the Desktop, which is where all my high-priority items go. But no luck. There were a number of files with what apparently seemed to be the same name (two.gif, for example), but with somehow different content. If someone could tell me how to extract this thing I'd be much obliged.

Also, anyone have any suggestions as far as adding pages using the same pagekit? Thought I'd ask since I'm here...

Thanks.

Hi there!

I expect it's because the images are in different folders in the zip file. Most of the Pagekits have more than one folder in which the files are stored, and the folder structure is stored in the zip file.

WinZip and most other unzippers allow you to recreate this directory . In WinZip this option is called "Use folder names". In your unzipper it might be called "preserve directory structure" or something similar. Have a look at the manual or README file that came with your unzipper - that should tell you how to do it.

Hope that helps!

Best wishes,
Matt
