use. Simply follow the on screen instructions after selecting the
"Select a Template" menu item to create the core template pages
that you will use to build the site.

to then create the text links for each individual page. By default

has
every
page linked but you will want to change the text of the page links
on every page. The table below explains how Onliner has configured
the links in the site by default.
