Newbie questions
I just installed TextPattern yesterday and I’ve been reading the FAQ’s and trying to figure out things for myself. However, I’ve got two main problems I can’t seem to figure out. 1) My pages have been built with Dreamweaver – for example, on my front page all I want to add is a comments section. I copied it over to TP as an article with auto-insert comments….which leads me to the other problem when I clicked Publish, it didn’t show up on my homepage…I think it was lost in cyberspace somewhere. How can I find out the exact link pages are posted to? Any help would be great! Thanks!

Re: Newbie questions
Can you post the code you used, please? That’ll help pinpoint the problem.

<p> Welcome to the new and improved Simplymysims.com! Feel free to get comfortable and look around. The Whitmore Family and my Desperate Housewives have already moved over. As well as Brooklyn, my Black Widow, for those of you who don’t know her story. In the coming weeks, I hope to add more features including links to other Sim Stories and custom content. Maybe, if you’re lucky, I’ll finally get to that About Me page, so you can take a glimpse into the RL me. I hope to be able to update this page frequently – maybe with updates, new challenges or pics. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions. Enjoy your stay!</p>

This is going to be my homepage, I would like comments inserted in the “main context” portion – can’t figure out how to just add comments and, as I said before, when I’ve clicked Publish this does not end up on the homepage.
