		+	=Creating New Content Pages=
		+	You can create pages in your system without any HTML/XML file editing whatsoever. Examples of pages created this way are the [http://ccmixter.org/ ccMixter home page] and "[http://ccmixter.org/view/media/remix/trackback As Seen on the Web]"
		+
		+	First create new content topics:
		+
		+	# While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Global Settings' in the menu
		+	# Click on 'Manage Page Content'
		+	# Click on 'Create New Content'
		+	# At 'New Content Type' type in "my_page_content" (without the quotes)
		+	# Enter a title and topic contents
		+	# Click on 'Submit Content'
		+
		+	Repeat these steps for addition topics except replace step (4):
		+
		+	4. At 'Content Type' select 'my_page_content' from the drop down, leave 'New Content Type' blank
		+
		+	Images are uploaded to '''local_files/images''' (replace local_files with the name of the files directory you supplied during install). To refer to those images use the new 'img' block in your topics. Example:
		+
		+	[img=/local_files/images/my_image.gif][/img]
		+
		+	You can also use the new 'left' or 'right' blocks to float images or blocks of text:
		+
		+	[left][img=/local_files/images/my_image.gif][/img][/left]
		+
		+	Next create a new content page:
		+
		+	# While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Global Settings' in the menu
		+	# Click on 'Manage Page Content'
		+	# Click on 'Create a New Page'
		+	# At 'Content Type' select "my_page_content"
		+	# Enter a page title like "My Page" (without the quotes)
		+	# Click on 'Submit' - this should take you back to the 'Manage Page Content' screen
		+	# Click on 'view' next to your new page to preview the page (Note the URL in your browser)
		+
		+	===Mapping a Page to a Navigation Tab===
		+
		+	To map your new page to a tab:
		+
		+	# While logged in as admin account: Click on 'Manage Site' in the menu
		+	# Click on 'Navigator Tab Sets'
		+	# Click on '[edit tabs]'
		+	# Click on 'Add tab'
		+	# Under 'Function' select 'Execute URL'
		+	# Under 'Data' enter the URL from Step (7) in the section above
		+	# Click on 'Submit'
		+
		+	HINT: entering a full URL in a tab causes a re-direct (extra round trip to your server). To
		+	prevent this in Step (6) enter "/viewfile/my-page" without the quotes and
		+	substituting my-page with the name of your page.
		+
		+	=Adding Static Content Pages=
		+	The command for viewing documents is 'viewfile' (or alias 'docs'). The
		+	parameter is the name of a PHP file in the 'docs Path' found in Global
		+	Settings->Paths. So if you have directory structure like:
		+
		+	www-root
		+	\|
		+	--- local_files
		+	\|
		+	---- pages
		+
		+	* Create a file '''local_files/pages/credits.php'''
		+	* Make sure '''local_files/pages''' directory is in your 'docs Path' settings
		+	* You can display that file via:
		+
		+	http://ccmixter.org/viewfile/credits OR
		+	http://ccmixter.org/docs/credits
		+
		+	(Leave off the PHP from the URL command)
		+
		+	Since the viewfile (aka docs) command is the default command you don't even have to specify the command in the browser.
