Requirements:
HELP 
* There is currently a very annoying bug which causes the first article never to be deleted
* If you can work out a solution before i can i would be very grateful

NB.
Because this is only the first release, The program was made to run on Xammp for a testing purpose and this readme guide 
Mainly gives instructions on the basis of that. But it does pick up on points for people trying to connect to a proper web host and will 
be compatible with Wamp and maybe Mamp servers. 

Requirements are listed as below

*xammp or server compatible with a sql and able to run php v5.4.19 (ideal)
*patience.
*ability to understand English.

************Getting it started***************
1. Download and unzip the .zip folder.(by reading this you probably already have)
2. Place this in the htdocs folder or where you usually place php code.
3. If you try running the index.php you will see a message. You haven't connected to your database. To do this follow below
		
*********Connecting to database*********
1. look for assets/grapescms.sql
2. go to your sql database(Probably php my admin) and go to import(sixth one in from left)	
3. go to file to import and select browse.
4. Find the sql file and then upload it to your sql program
5. refresh your index.php and it should work.

********Password********
1. If you go to grapescms in your database and then users you will notice that the password looks strange
   this is because it's md5 encrypted. We want to leave it this way to hide your password. But how to change it?
2. To change your password make a random php page or just use a current one
3. use this code ** echo md5('password'); ** and change password to anything you like.
4. copy this code and enter it in either your sql file and re-upload it or your users and click edit on the admin user and renter your password. Save it and 
   you are done.
5. on the grapescms in your browser; go to admin and enter user name admin and your normal password (not the md5 code.)
**************Adding article********   
1. this is very easy.Once logged in go to add article and make sure you enter all the text fields
    you can use html tags if necessary.  
********Extra**********
1. Because it is open source you can modify, edit and submit extensions for the next update.  

2. Since the grapes theme(the original) is a bit boring I have created a set of themes to download. Also A tutorial to allow you to make a theme
  is available soon.(or you can easily work it out. It's not very complex)   
*****Other languages******
1. I not that good with other languages(French is okay) so it would be very helpful for you to translate this under its own language
