Okay, to create a subpage under the rootpage:
- go to host administration.
- click the host you want to work with.
- click 'edit root page:'
- click 'new subpage'.
You can then give your page a name and content, among other things.
There are no directories in midgard. You have a rootpage, which will apear
at http://yourmidgardsite/ , which can have subpages like 'test', which
would appear at http://yourmidgardsite/test/ . Test itself could contain
subpages too, appearing like http://yourmidgardsite/test/to/impress/you . So
in a way you could say that a page like 'test' is both a page and a
directory, which is quite powerfull.
If you copied stuff from the example site, you allready have a grasp of the
style part of Midgard. Here you decide what your pages will look like. Under
host administration you can design your page tree. All you really need to
know at first is that there is no need for directories in Midgard. Under
topic administration you can make trees of topics, topics can contain
articles. You would use a page to display your articles. To do so, you could
use the function mgd_get_topic(int id) as I mentioned in my really simple
example, but there are many more functions available from Midgard.
B.t.w.: do you have some experience with PHP?

Ease of installation is one of our concerns. Source installs will never be
really easy, but we're planning to make our installation instructions a lot
clearer. I am glad to hear that the rpm package helped you out.
