This is the current default indextemplate.html file, provided here in case you need to get it again. If you need to make a new default index template, copy and paste this into a new text file on your computer and then save it as a html file. Exactly how you do this will vary depending on your OS, but do it carefully so that you don't end up with a file named indextemplate.html.txt (which won't work) or that it doesn't re-format the code into something else (such as using &grt; instead of > which can happen if you use something like MSWord).

How the KeenTags work is explained here.

Fix for Internet Explorer

There is a known bug for some versions of IE where the default template will show up as a blank, black screen. This is caused by the stylesheet used. In the code, all you need to do is remove the extra exclamation mark. Where you see:

      //--!>
 </style>

Replace it with:

      //-->
 </style>

And the comic ought to show up properly in IE.
