Do you guys talk about setting up different page templates (look and feel)?
 
I didn't see mention of that.  (That is my current "Farcry for Dummies"
dilemma)

I have to say that I agree with everyone else.  I was going to write
that immediately after reading Pauls first email but I thought maybe it
was just me.  I've had real difficult time getting started but things
pretty much make sense now.  I know I've got a long way to go but...
The flexibility of far cry seems to be a blessing and a curse it's great
that its so accommodating to almost anyones needs but its very
overwhelming getting started.

I, too, have found the developer tutorials and walkthroughs complex and
hard
to figure out. To me, it appears they assume a certain amount of
knowledge
of how FarCry really works and its kind of like a chicken and egg thing.
A
more basic tutorial / overview of the system and the relationships
between
containers and rules and the like would be great.

I have to say i agree with you. There's a certain list of things you
need to
"get" before the documentation  starts to make sense.

This intro to farcry has been on my to do list for a long time.

If you want to contact me off-list i can talk you thru the basics on
instant
messenger
