Re: [Plone-Users] Plone basics

Hi, everyone!

I have been looking at all the websites of the Plone consultants on  
the Plone site.  The logos are a work of genius, as a whole.  I am  
hoping that I can get permission, some day, to use them as examples in  
lesson plans.  I have been looking at the corresponding websites, a  
few at a time, for ideas how to do a Plone site and the variety  
possible.  You guys have been doing a very cool thing, you know, with  
Plone.

I watched the screenshots on the Plone site and got a few answers to  
my questions, that way.  I'll try the transform option for my picture  
problem.  When I tinkered with the news item, the major image of my  
website disappeared.  I found that very interesting.  I probably went  
crazy clicking all sorts of things.  I found a website that looks like  
a good read for a new user, http://www.insmallsteps.com/lessons

I probably will be more adept after reading it.  I'll get back to you  
and let you know how it went.

Prish
