It can be confusing at first.
There are 4 regions in the admin site: Group-, Host- Layout- and Content
administration. I'll assume the group administration is pretty evident.
The way Midgard "works" for me is if I look at the other 3 in this way:
- Content holds the actual content of your site, stored in topics and
articles. I usually put no active content here.
- The Host administration allows you to define hosts and pages. These
pages
pick up the content in the topics and articles and put together the
elements that will be displayed by...
- The Layout administration, which defines styles that shape the look
and
feel of the site and hold often-referenced php snippets (code
libraries
if you will).
The thing that threw me off at first was that I was still thinking that
'pages' must be the things that hold content. They can in Midgard, but
that's
not how I see them used primarily.
Bye,
Emile
