Hi Tim, you really should make a subtheme if you are modifying
things, it is very easy. you can rtfm (Read the fine manual) about
subthemeing under<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://drupal.org/node/1010576">http://drupal.org/node/1010576</a><br>
<br>
Although this is for zen, it basically applies to all themes, the
basic steps:<br>
<ol>
<li>copy the theme folder that you want to modify</li>
<li>modify the names to whatever you want it of </li>
<ol>
<li>the folder itself</li>
<li>the themes .info file</li>
<li>the themes css/theme.css (if exists)</li>
</ol>
<li>check that all the files are mentioned in your new theme .info
and change it to be a subtheme of your main theme<br>
</li>
<li>delete all the files you don't need to modify from your own
subtheme folder</li>
<li>that should be it.</li>
</ol>
<p>In your case if you just changed node.tpl.php just remove
everything but node.tpl.php and your subthemes .info file<br>
</p>
<p>Of course after that you have to install the theme in appearance
section or by drush en yourtheme<br>
</p>
<p>It is more fun than it is fearsome.<br>
