<h1>Welcome to Siteframe {siteframe_version}</h1>
<p>This is the default home page for a 
<a href="http://siteframe.org">Siteframe</a>-powered website. 
You should replace this with a home page of your own choosing, 
or you can modify this page to suit your needs.</p>
<h2>Changing the home page</h2>
<p>To edit this page, navigate to 
<a href="{site_path}/admin/">Control Panel</a> 
&rarr; Maintain content templates, and click on "index".</p>
<p>To select another home page template, navigate to 
<a href="{site_path}/admin/">Control Panel</a> 
&rarr; Extended properties, and choose another template 
from the drop-down menu by HOME_PAGE.</p>
<p>To create your own home page template:</p>
<ol>
<li>Navigate to <a href="{site_path}/admin/">Control Panel</a> 
&rarr; Maintain content templates.</li>
<li>Select "Create a new template."</li>
<li>Set the template type to "Home Page" and enter any desired 
home page text, then press Save.</li>
<li>Go to <a href="{site_path}/admin/">Control Panel</a> 
&rarr; Extended properties, then choose your new template 
from the HOME_PAGE drop-down list.</li>
</ol>
<p>It is recommend that you do <em>not</em> modify one of the
existing templates, since your changes may be lost in a future software
upgrade. Either use an existing template unchanged, or create a copy of
an existing template to modify.</p>

<h2>Administrative user account</h2>
<p>During the installation process, you should have created at least one
administrative user account. If you did not, you will be unable to maintain
and manage this website.</p>
<p>To create a new administrative user,
<a href="{site_path}/admin/newadmin.php">click here</a>.</p>
<p>If your site already has an administrative user, you are required to
login before using the Control Panel.</a>

<h2>Configuring your site</h2>
<p>If you're seeing this page, then you have already completed at least the 
first stage in your site configuration. You can also visit the 
<a href="{site_path}/admin/properties.php">Extended properties</a>
page for other configuration options.</p>

<h2>Site Statistics</h2>
<p>The <a href="{site_path}/admin/">Control Panel</a> contains
links to a number of useful reports about your site, including the numbers
of unique visitors per day, lists of referrers, and the most recent visitors
to your site.</p>
