General Plone Notes

You can customize this frontpage by clicking the edit tab on this document if you have the correct permissions. Create folders and put content in those folders. Folders will show up in the navigation box if they are published.

When you edit a Plone document, you can do it in plain text in a form in your browser. It's simple, but there are some formatting options you can use; see Structured Text in Plone. You may also want to read Using Plone for an intro to how to add documents, and Creating Links as well.
