LG Dare Homepage Generator

FAQ

I put the homepage on my phone, but can't get it to load.
You can't just put the dare.zip file on your phone and run it like an application. It has to be run from the browser, and as far as I know, the Dare's browser can't load local files from the filesystem. It must be run from an external web server.
Is there an easy way to edit a homepage that I've already created, or do I have to start from scratch?
Unfortunately, there's no way to upload a zip and edit an existing homepage. It's not hard to do, but I'm no longer expanding on this system. Considering how simple it is to create the pages, I don't think this is a huge drawback.
When I load the page on the Dare's browser, I get three columns instead of four, and the page rotation script doesn't work.
This usually happens if your browser's display setting is set to anything other than Standard. Check that in the browser's configuration menu.
My page has a white background, no images, and all the links are showing up on a one-column list.
This generally means that you didn't retain the directory structure when you uploaded your files. There should be three folders named css, images, and js, and then an index.html file. All the images go into the images folder. default.css should be in the css folder. functions.js should be in the js folder.
