This isn't your ordinary set of instructions as
there is no real beginning, middle or end. This is
more of a collection of hints on using the
software to maximize the software's usefulness.

- Working with the site template
The template provided for laying out your site
design is pretty simple. In the /html_files/
directory, you will find all the .html files you
need to modify. They way they work is this:

header_home.html & footer_home.html are the two
files that make up the design for the main page of
the site. In the template, header_home.html calls
in nav_left.html. This is the file used for
the left hand navigation. footer_home.html calls
nav_right.html which has the Featured Products box
in it. All of these files can be modified to fit
your site design needs.

header.html & footer.html work the same as the
previous files, except footer.html doesn't call
the nav_right.html file leaving more room on the
page for content.





- How to add additional content pages to your site
1. Using a text editor, open the index.php file.
You will find a block of code that looks like this

	/*
	sample content page block

	case "sample":
	$next_page = "sample";
	break;
	*/
2. Using the sample as a guide, create your own
block for your page. For example, if you wanted
to add an FAQ page, you would create a block
that looks like this:

	case "faq":
	$next_page = "faq";
	break;

3. Create the content for your new page and
upload it to the /html_files/ directory. Be sure
to name the file [case_name].html (for example:
faq.html would be the name of our new page.

4. Add a link that looks like this:
http://www.yoursite.com/?page=[case_name]
example:
http://www.yoursite.com/?page=faq
