Step 1: Add templates

The installation comes with a default theme that consists of some templates.
    Go to Templates > New template, enter "index.tpl.php" and save it.
    Add the "content" and "slogan" content areas. If you want to add content areas later on, go to Templates and choose the template you want to edit.
    Add the "page.tpl.php" template. This template has also a "content" content area so add it too.
    Add the "contact.tpl.php" and "weblog.tpl.php" templates. These templates don't have a content area.

Step 2: Add a page and set it as the homepage

    Go to Pages > New layered page.
    Set menu name to "Home", template to "index.tpl.php", uncheck "allow subpages" and save it.
    After saving it, you can edit the content by clicking on one of the content areas. When you're ready, click the save toolbarbutton.
    Now you've created the page, you should tell the CMS that this is the homepage of the website: go to Website and set the current homepage to this page.

Step 3: Create a weblog and a blogroll collection

To create the weblog and add one post to it:
    Go to Collections > New collection.
    Set name to "My weblog" (or another name, this is just for internal use), check "content" and order the items by "date descending". On the comments tabpage, check "allow comments". Now save it.
    To add a post to this weblog, go to Collections > My weblog > New item.
    Enter a title and some content and save it.
To create the blogroll and add a link to it:
    Go to collections > New collection.
    Set name to "My blogroll", check "external URL" and order the item by "title" and save it.
    To add a link to the blogroll, go to Collections > My blogroll > New item.
    Enter a title and the URL and save it.

Step 4: Add a page that owns the weblog

We now have a weblog, but no page that can show it. So create a new page and associate it with the weblog:
    Go to Pages > New layered page.
    Set menu name to "Weblog" (or another name), template to "weblog.tpl.php" and uncheck "allow subpages". On the collections tabpage, make My weblog active for this page and enter 6 in "items to show". Make sure you also set the weblog collection as the base collection of this page! Now save it.

Step 5: The homepage should show the blogroll and also the last weblog posts

    Go to Pages and click the homepage.
    Go to the collections tabpage. In the "Collections that are active for this page" group, check both collections (My weblog and My blogroll) and enter the number of items to show on the homepage. Do not set a base collection!

Step 6: Install plugins and activate one for the homepage

A default installation comes with some plugins.
    Go to Plugins and check the plugins you want to install. For the sake of this example, check the contact, oembed, syntax_highlighter and quotes plugins.
    The quotes plugin (a plugin that randomly shows quotes) has an interface where quotes can be added and deleted. To go to this interface, click on the name of the plugin.
    To activate the quotes plugin for the homepage, go to Pages and click the homepage.
    In the plugins tabpage, check the quotes plugin and save it.

Step 7: Add a contact form

The contact form makes use of the email address of the admin user, so make sure it is set (if not, go to Users, click the admin and set the email).
    Go to Pages > New layered page.
    Set menu name to "Contact" (or another name), template to "contact.tpl.php" and uncheck "allow subpages".
    In de plugins tabpage, check the contact plugin and save it.

Step 8: Add a page and some subpages

    Go to Pages > New layered page.
    Enter the menu name, set the template to "page.tpl.php", save it. Now enter some content and save it.
    To add a subpage, go to Pages and choose the page you just created. Now choose New subpage and fill te required fields.
