It is our intention for you to be up and running 5 minutes after installing the software (maybe with only 1 product in your store, and a very simple-looking site, but completely working nonetheless).Each page in the GeneralStore has a link at the bottom Edit This Page that appears only to people who are logged in as the administrator (the easiest way to do this is to click the Administration link from the Welcome page). That page-editing link makes it easier for you to see the source HTML for each page in the GeneralStore, so you don't waste too much time looking around the 300 or so files that ship with WebCatalog.Once you're familiar with how things work in that demo, you can start fleshing it out to look more like your own site. The GeneralStore database won't break, for instance, if you start adding your own fields for extra product information you want to keep in your catalog.Good luck, and remember we're all here to help!Grant Hulbert, V.P.
