Layout Explanation
The layout of the templates is very flexible but can be a little confusing to someone that is used to a single html page. To make it easier to understand here is a quick explanation of how the layout is organized.
Unlike a regular html page the program uses templates to generate the pages. Each template is a part of the given page and several templates are put together to produce a complete page.
For example in the default template:
The header.php loads the top section, includes the menu_bar template, the left menu, and starts the content section to the right.
The specific page template produces the content
The footer closes the content area and loads the bottom of the page.
Any or all templates can be changed, added, or removed to meet your needs.
