I don’t really have a question: mostly a request. Please change the documentation for the getting started tutorials. I spent an hour trying to figure out why the bit about [[MenuSnippet]] wasn’t working and searching the forums and Google I finally figured out that it’s not an actual snippet, just an example of a snippet. I didn’t feel like this was obvious at all for someone new to MODx and from what I’ve seen in these and various other forums I’m not the only one for whom this is true. I’m not complaining--I love this CMS and am excited about learning more about it, I just think changing that one bit would save a lot of noobs like me some time. Thanks for all you guys’ efforts.

Done. Thanks for the suggestion! I’m sure you saved a lot of people some time and frustration.
BTW, see the site in my sig for more introductory info about MODx (and no mention of "MenuSnippet").
Please feel free to make any suggestions about improving the site.
