Where to start?

I have a site designed. Rather than whip up my own CMS (which I’ve done a few times), I want to get this site up and running quicker. I d/l’d and instlled MODx and am asking what the best sources/tutorials are for info on how to integrate MODx into an existing site?

It’s not a complicated site. It’s mostly a new site. No comments. No blogs. The hardest thing about it is the main news page, which I would like to have date-ordered from most recent, with a link to a subpage with the whole article if the news item is too long. As I’ve said, I’ve done this before on my own, but doing it again would take longer than i would like. All I really need help with is how to integrate the tags into my own html and how to set up the basic connectivity.

Thanks!

To do that what you want you can use newslisting comes shipped with modx but make sure to update the snippet with the latest release. get it here:

Great, but where do I start learning how to incorporate the MODx tags into my site design?

I have a detailed account of doing this for my site here:
