Members	Hey everyone, if you can answer any of these questions i would greatly appreciate it. My Website PS I have lost of experience in html and a little in php, but I'm still getting used to this, so if you can answer like your talking to someone who has no idea what is going on (which is kind of true) I am sure that would help to :) My Questions 1. I am trying to add a Welcome thing to my front page, much like the welcome thing on this site. so I opened up the index.tpl page and there is the code {INDEX_NEWS} so I assumed this code tells it to go to the news.tpl so I put {INDEX_WELCOME} and added a welcome.tpl which I edited basically like the news.tpl just changing a few minor things, like the url which I directed it to where my welcome page is. And nothing showed up on my front page, so now I am starting to wonder how all of this stuff works. Is my thinking completely wrong. 2. On my Download Pages, Articles ect. is it possible to get it so the list thing on the bottom doesn't show up if there is no content. This is when I don't want the list to start on the bottom This is when I do. 3. On all of my plugins that have verification numbers, they don't work Example 1 Example 2. it also says that the name is long enough and all these other errors I tryed to edit the plugins but can't figure out whats wrong. 4. can I make it so the guests can rate pages and content. I guessing this will probally be in plugin form but I can't find a plugin for it. 5. When adding pages,articles,content is there anyway to make it multiple pages; for example if I was to write a page, then I want to have page 1. be the introduction page 2. be system requirements ect. Can this be done using tags. 6. like on my front page how can I set how many recent site news to display Well that's all I can think of for now. I sorry if there is already some topics for some of these questions, but I have pretty much searched every page of these forums and nothing has really answered these problemes. I don't expect anyone to answer all of these questions but any help is greatly appreciated. And also I want to thank all the the contonti team for all of there hard work they have put into this. I have tryed many CMS's and so far this is the most user friendly by far.
