    I need help...

    I just set-up a website, and I want to set-up several pages to run as a blog style.  I understand this is possible through Jot and Ditto, but I’m completely inept with Modx and don’t know how to create a page to use these features.

    I’ve tried following the directions on the "Template for Blogs" page, but I’m lost. I’ve uploaded the files in the "Light" folder to my /assets/templates folder, but I can’t figure-out how to perform the following directions:

    "Create two new templates, Light and Light-post, and copy/paste the text in the included template.html files."

    I can create the two templates, but they’re not editable to copy/paste text into.

    Also, the directions after that say to "create four chunks using the text of the included chunk.html files."

    How do I create a chunk?

    I’m desperate...

            Thanks...

            I had to reinstall Modx with the demo content, and then I saw all of the templates...

            I do have another question, though...

            I want to have continuing threads on 4 different categories...

            I want to do either of the following:

            1. Create 4 different blog pages
            2. Have one main blog page with the ability to select one of the 4 categories to post threads and comments about.

            Are either options possible?
