Hi there,

I'm not quite following what you're looking for... are you trying to have Article Manager publish your main index page? If so, take a look at this tutorial:

http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/doc.cgi?/articlemanager2/tutorials/artman2_as_main_page.html

If that's not quite right, let me know more detail about what you're trying to do, and we can offer other suggestions. :)

Re: [Donna] Need help fast please! [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi, Thanks but ive already tried that, im more specifically looking to setup my homepage and using the sitebuilder at domain.com is what im switching from. basically im editing the global index template in order to change my homepage but i have 2 problems

1) I tried the tutorial and i get some error when i hit publish all saying cannot create some directory

2) i have a server error of some sort because i was playing around with the article manager server settings and I dont know what I did, so I want to fix my homepage with the code that i pasted in the first post and link article manager to directly post articles I create through there.

Thanks
