Templates on adv. Guestbook

I would like to change the layout of my guestbook, I try editing the templates but changing them in any way gives me these messages:

Warning: fopen("./templates/entry.php", "w") - Permission denied in /home/extroweb/public_html/marriguestbook/lib/admin.class.php on line 180

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/extroweb/public_html/marriguestbook/lib/admin.class.php on line 181

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/extroweb/public_html/marriguestbook/lib/admin.class.php on line 187

THe advance guestbook came installed whith the people who host me....(splicehost.com) So I do not know too much about permissions, etc...

You need to chmod your template file to 666

Ah folks......lets try and help people and not attack them.

I realize it may be hard to do, a newbie may not have read every post, agreeded they should have because a lot of the same questions are asked. Just remember, a newbie asks stupid questions. You and I also once upon a time were newbies and asked stupid questions. Now we're polished, mature individuals who can for the most part keep our heads out of our asses. At least most of us can.

Im not lazy, I did look around and I didnt find what I was looking for.

Now how do you "chmod your template file to 666".

right click file, check boxes until you see the number 666

Do you use ftp to connect to your webserver? If not, download SmartFTP (great freeware prog) and use it to connect to your webserver, then changing file permissions is as easy as right clicking, and typing the desired number into the little box (666 in this case).

On a side note, I changed my background to a pic by adding a line to the CSS in header.php:

None of the other ways I've seen mentioned on these boards seemed to work for me, but this one did. Hope this helps.
