If you can make html/xhtml out of that PSD, then you can make a template. Templates in CMS are nothing special. Just html with a couple of tags thrown in to replace some things. Taking a look at the template for the default site should pretty much explain how it works. There are only really 3 or 4 tags worth noting unless you're getting compilcated.

Yeah, that's one of the main reasons why it's still pre-1.0. I feel it doesn't deseve that version number until there is ample documentation and major bugs and architecture flaws are worked out.
MV wrote:I like the simple layout, so this could be a possibility. I've looked at other CMS and they're pretty much portals and blogs.
Yeah, that's why we're here. To be able to make a "static" site manageable from the web. Surprisingly, it's something most other CMS systems don't do.
MV wrote:Also, do are there templates available for use/modification? This would help me learn the in's and out's easier. Thanks again.
Well, just the template for the default site at the moment, though looking at it, it pretty much explains itself.
I hope that helps. This is one of those kinds of apps that needs to be installed to see how it works (especially with no real user manual). The community here is pretty good about answering questions and should be able to help you out if it doesn't all make sense right away.
Enjoy!
