Basic Help with Concrete5 (VERY basic!)

Permalink
Hi, my name is Jake and I am looking for very very basic help on how to get concrete set up and running.

I know there is probably alot of info and technical details so I just need the 'what to do' and I will figure out the 'how to' my self.

Basically, I want to use concrete in the future for my sites but need to know what to do.

1. I have a server that I use to host sites on presently.

2. I've downloaded the concrete5 files but...I dont have a clue what i'm looking at.

3. How do I link all this together and get my site to have a 'concrete5 space'?

Is this done in Dreamweaver (or equivalent)? e.g. I insert a 'concrete5 box' in dreamweaver and then edit the content by logging in?

I know this might seem like im asking alot, but I really just need the basics of how it works, because, I dont really have any idea.

If you understand and get what im asking, thanks alot, Jake.

Jake,

http://vimeo.com/ is a good place to start. "Search by concrete5". I have a lot of videos there showing how to use my themes but the stuff from the core team is more focused on what you need.
Also try this page:http://www.concrete5.org/about/owners-tour/...
