Hi
Can anyone tell me, which part of the article template do I need to edit in order to have certain text always show up in the article summary?
Thanks 
Terry

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the post!
To add some permenant text to your summaries you will need to edit your default.html template file that is found in the /templates/index/ directory on your web server. Inside the default.html template file look for the following sections:
<span class="summary">$art_summary$</span><br>
$art_summary$ is the placeholder for your article summaries you can add whatever permanent text you may like before or after this section for example you sould have this:
<strong>this is my article summary</strong>
<span class="summary">$art_summary$</span><br>
The above code would publish the words "this is my article summary" above the article summaries for all articles in bold. :)
Does this help Terry? If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask!
Cheers,

Thanks. Well, a weird thing has happened. It worked fine, and now it doesn't. I can't work out what's going wrong :-(

Sorted it! I didn't realise the text had to be entered in two areas.
In case it helps anyone else, I've set up a situation in which I can create Technorati tags on the fly, by using article fields as follows:
<a href="http://technorati.com/tag/$art_field10$" rel="tag">$art_field10$</a><br>
<a href="http://technorati.com/tag/$art_field11$" rel="tag">$art_field11$</a><br>
<a href="http://technorati.com/tag/$art_field12$" rel="tag">$art_field12$</a><br>
Thanks for all your help
