I am starting to feel a little defeated in trying to setup a Carter Lake.

I think most of us now use the PHP version of the Carterlake template from Saratoga Weather, the default Carterlake template included with WD is the older HTML version but is still usable.
Which one are you using and what’s the URL? Niko beat me too it.
It’s handy to put your website URL in your profile so members can refer to it when you have questions like this one. :wink:
