My current backlight page is http://creepyhouse.net. I have been editing the basic default template, but it appears to have no effect on the existing pages. The About page is different from the rest and has no tray, but it is on the same template as everything else, so why should it look different? I have followed the instructions as exactly as I can, but keep getting the same results. Could somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Darrell Leland

Thanks Rainer! I looked at Home, About, and Contact. They all are set to the same template, and yet now Home and About look correct, but the Contact page is incorrectly formatted. Am I missing something? Is this the fault of very slow response at my hosting site?

Go to Backlight Settings and edit the contact form.
Check Designer > Menu Sets > Design wether you made the Link to - page -, - contact -

Did you get this sorted out Darrell?
Your Contact page looks like the others.
On your About page, you've got some text in the tray and no text in the main area. There's an H1 heading in the tray that's not visible because it's black. You can change this by going to the page template > typography and changing the color of Headings.

Yes I did Rod. It looks like this was some kind of odd refresh problem on the server side. Thanks for checking. The black on black text and other issues just means I'm not finished yet. Thanks a whole lot!

yeah, sometimes you need to clear the template cache. It seems I need to clear it occasionally if I'm making lots of changes or if things just get weird. I think Ben and Matt have improved things in the last couple of updates so the need to clear template cache is becoming rarer
