Ribbon Text: The ribbon text is the date string that you see on the top right of the template. The text for this feature is controlled on the Appearance > tagline page in the Folio Life template admin.
Layout Overrides: Folio Life has a number of layout overrides to help fine tune the layout. You can find these files in the templates/foliolife/layout folder. In general you do not need to touch these files but if you need to make some changes to any of the following areas, then this is where you need to make them:
Slideshow Settings
Microblog in two column display on the top right
Microblog in flat layout display showing three articles in the advert2 position.
Microblog showing one item with the title of Editors note.
This error means that your server is using php v4 while the Zen Grid Framework needs php5 to function properly. Often changing to php5 is a matter of adding a rule to the htaccess file on your site but it's best to ask your host for help in determining the best way to use php on your server.
