-To create and add the new buttons for a new classifier, there are several macro files that need to be edited. This is an example for the Countries metadata. <i>Countries</i> is the metadata name (or buttonname), <i>count</i> is the short form used in image names, <i>countries</i> is the text that appears on the nav bar buttons and the green title.

-These lines should all be put next to the other ones ones of the same type. Use Title as an example to search for the approriate place to insert.

+There are several images and macro file modifications needed for a new type of classifier. The following instructions use Countries as an example. <i>Countries</i> is the metadata name (or buttonname), <i>count</i> is the short form used in image names, and <i>countries</i> is the text that appears on the images.
+<p>The images that are needed are the navigation bar images, and the title image with the green bar in the background. There are 3 navigation bar images: <i>tcountgr.gif</i> is the green one and <i>tcounton.gif</i> and  <i>tcountof.gif</i> are the two yellow ones for the rollover effect.
+<i>h_count.gif</i> is the title image.
+
+<p>These images can be generated by going <a href="http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~mdewsnip/greenstone/make-images.html">here</a>. Select the appropriate language and enter the image text (e.g. countries) in the box. English versions of the images should be saved to $GSDLHOME/images, while other language versions should be placed in the appropriate subdirectory of $GSDLHOME/images, for example $GSDLHOME/images/fr for french images. The images should be renamed as above, for example <i>1102920344gr.gif</i> would be renamed to <i>tcountgr.gif</i>.

+<p>To get Greenstone to use the new images, some macro files need to be edited.
+The following lines should all be put next to the other ones ones of the same type. Use Title as an example to search for the approriate place to insert.
