adding text above "whats new" on main page

[ouke]

I would like to know where exactly I can add text to my main page above the words "whats new". I just want to add a little welcome message and dont know what file to edit and where in that file to edit it where it would be above those words "whats new". Thank you for any help.

In includes/languages/english.php (if you are using english), you will see a line like this:

 

define('TEXT_GREETING_PERSONAL', 'Welcome back <span class="greetUser">%s!</span>   Would you like to see our <a class="mainstuff" href="%s"><u>new products</u></a>?');

 

You could add some text before "welcome back" with a couple of <br /> to move the rest down a line.

 

*you probably won't have "mainstuff" in yours ;)
