Adding an existing website

I just installed MODx yesterday through my Bluehost web hosting account.

I have an existing site that I’m working on now. Here’s my draft:
http://www.sushihanaus.com/index5.html

Can I just copy and paste the html and css style sheet into MODx?
If that’s true then I would be able to take other older sites that I’ve made and run them through MODx? That would be great! Then I could log into my MODx account from any computer and work on the sites.

Where should I go to read up on adding code to MODx?

Thanks.

Hello,

You could copy and paste your existing site into modx, but you wouldn’t be taking advantage of it’s power. The best way to use modx is to create a template (see documentation and/or wiki) and then use modx to manage the content accordingly. You will need to add a few modx tags for the template to work.

Thanks I’ll look into that. I have looked at Joomla too, but MODx looks like its easier to add code to. What do you think?

Let’s just say I am responsible for introducing 25+ templates to the MODx repository and none to the Joomla repository...

Good to hear.

Oh, I forgot to mention above, but if you have any questions regarding templating your welcome to ask me.

Thank you AMD. I like most of the templates on your site.

So if I want to add a new domain to the existing account I have:, how do I go about changing the domain to the new one?

Not to interfere, but you should probably open a support ticket at bluehost--not all hosts do it the same way. I had a little problem with doing that at dreamhost, but my other host hawk host who has cpanel was no problem...

You can host unlimited websites at bluehost so why not just set up a new one --and keep the old one there but not active

look at this site for more template help [or any help really] although the one sottwell did in the wikki is all you need--it is very detailed
