I am very new to al of this. Although I have edited many Blog Themes, they were very simple and not used as my main web Site. So I apologize for my naiveté.
I was able to change the text placeholders on my main page without any problems.However, when I changed the image placeholders(which were named medium1.jpg for all three images to the following:
$placeholder_image1 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium1.jpg';
#$placeholder_image2 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium2.jpg';
#$placeholder_image3 = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/files/medium3.jpg';
it changed nothing and all three images were displayed as medium1.jpg.
should I have edited this instead?:
$placeholder_image1 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image1,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));
#$placeholder_image2 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image2,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));
#$placeholder_image3 = kriesi_build_image(array('url'=>$placeholder_image3,'height'=>'124','width'=>'280'));
Originally, I thought I was being crafty and just replaced the images in the directory where the original display placeholder images were and even though I uploaded three distinct images, it displays only medium.jpg in all three locations n the page.
How do I properly edit the index.php to resolve this issue?
Create a new thread and tell me what problems you are encountering and what you want to know. 
There is no step 3 :)
