How to Add a Splash Page to Skadate

Anyone can make his own online-dating website using Skadate.

Skadate is a software program that allows users to build their own online-dating site. It has many features including some premade templates. The software gives the option to use your own customizing tools instead of the templates. This includes the ability to add a splash page once your Skadate site is up and running.

Instructions

1. Create the image you want to show up on your splash page.

2. Upload the image on your site as you did with all other pictures when building your site. A URL will be created by the site. Copy the URL onto a blank page in a word processor such as Wordpad.

3. Log in to your Skadate website and click on the dashboard.

4. Click on the site script and scroll down until you find the homepage HTML.

5. Paste the following before the homepage script: < META http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=http://www.somesitename.com/home.html" >

6. Copy the splash page URL you pasted into Wordpad and place it into the script you just pasted. For example, if your URL is "www.myskadate.com/splash.html" then your script should look like this: < META http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=http://www.myskadate.com/splash.html" >

7. Change the time for the splash page to show, if desired. In the script example in step 6, this is the content="10, meaning that the splash page shows for 10 seconds. If you want more or less, replace the "10" in the script with the number of seconds you want instead.

8. Save all your changes.

Tips & Warnings

• Before you change the script on any website, make a copy of the current script by copying and pasting into a separate file in Wordpad or another word processor. This is a good backup in case you mess up the script on accident; you can always re-paste the original and start all over again.
