Installed Geeklog and set about trying to work out how to create static pages. Well I managed to create 1 as a 'test' however I can't see any way to get that page at the centre of the site!!
I looked at 'Blocks' and it gives options right or left... not centre. Maybe I'm just transferring my expectations from Xoops et al but it seems a lot less user friendly than I'd hoped. In Xoops
(for example) I can tell the program where to place my blocks, unfortunately I couldn't get their static pages to work the way I wanted either.
My intention is to create a site as follows.
1. Welcome and Introduction in centre with links to (a) dictionary and (b) forum
2. Dictionary with links to 'A' - 'Z' pages
3. Forum where visitors can discuss the contents.
4. Menu across the top which includes a link to the dictionary, the forum, and home page.
To me on paper this seems relatively straightforward using boilerplate and plugins... but for the life of me I can't seem to get off the ground! I don't mean to criticise the documentation, and I know this is all opensource, and I *
am* really grateful for everyone's hard work... but I'm really frustrated that I can't work out how to
(literally) get from 'a to b'.
Is there somewhere that explains the fundamentals in a simpler format for someone who has some experience
(but clearly not enough) like me to read??
Hi,
Edit your staic page and check Centerblock and choose Homepage only
When checked, this Static Page will be displayed as a center block on the index page.

Thanks again... one step closer!
I wish I could read the instructions better. It all seems so complicated!!
