Hi all,
I just installed a new copy of XOOPS onto my website. It working and all but I got just one question.
How do you make a page with information? I can't find a way because there is no way to start the page up in a block.
Thanks for your help.

u can start installing useful modules.
check out XOOPS repository.

for a start, u may install News module tat comes with ur XOOPS installation.

Is there a good mod you can use for the homepage?

There are three suggestions here, All of which I have used heavily.

1) Create a Custom HTML Block with some text that you want displayed, such as your welcome message and graphics

2) Use the Marquee module to do similar, but slightly flasher and present more date.

3) Use the Excellent WF-Channel Module. Set a link in the HTML welcome to go to this, and then you can have all you static pages very easily linked in on here, plus it has excellent "link to us" and "Refer a Freind" functionality.

Just a few ideas. Hope they help!
