Ok, I'll play around with it, thanks for the info :)

Ok. Is it customary to redirect to the catalog directory for an Oscommerce site? Or should I have just installed the contents of catalog to my root?

Oh, I see, I had to call /catalog/index.php Ok, so since by default when someone types my sitename into their browser, it searches for an index in the root folder, how do I get them automatically to /catalog/index.php?

Ok. By that logic, I could just use the sts_template.html without changing anything, right? Do I have to make an empty index.php? I tried www.mysite.com/index.php, and since I have no index.php there, I just got a 404 error. What do you mean call index.php?

Hi. I know this is a retarded question, so try not to ridicule me too much. ;) When I view sts_template.html, all I get are the boxes with the "$" words in them. And that's viewing them with a browser. I'm confused as to how to get the "$" to actually turn into the OSC graphics and words and the like. I followed the instructions, copied the files into the catalog/includes, modded my configuration.php, but there, the instructions end, and it just says to modify the template as you see fit. Well I can modify it all day but all I see are $this and $that. I thought those were just variables that call in the code from OSC. I'm so confused.
