2: The New Site Wizard

The 'New Site Wizard' will help you to set up your site one step at a time. The first step is to give your site a title and set up which sections you would like in it - you can add or remove them again later on.

You can leave the title set to 'My Site' for this simple demonstration. The only part of this step you may have problems with is adding sections - simply enter the name of the section and press 'Add'. If you make a mistake, highlight the section and press 'Remove'. Add two sections, one called 'About Me' and another called 'My Main Interest'. We'll create a simple site about you and your main interest - if you're using Iosphere for a business need, still do this first - you need to learn the basics before using the advanced features.

These sections will automatically be created when you have finished entering information.

The next stage is to set up the properties for your project - the next page allows you to enter the name and email address of the person to contact regarding the site and the copyright holder of the site. Just enter your name, your email and you as the copyright holder.

The following page may require some thought. It allows to select the root object of the project - currently either a Virtual Folder or a File System Folder. The Virtual Folder is most suited to quick, self-contained projects, so we'll use that first. Select the Virtual Folder option and press 'Next >'.

The next page lets you pick the design that you wish to use for your site. You may select a pre-defined one or load one from disk. You may alter them later, so choose one which best suits your needs. For this example select 'Lightning'.

The final page lets you configure where your site will be published to - for this simple example you can leave the default values and just click 'Finish'. Your site will then be created.

You will now see the main Iosphere window, with the project tree down the right hand side. Open up the root object and you should see the following:

Now you can start adding pages!
