OMG! What kind of site is this?

Hello Serendipity, do you know what newbe stands for? (Dumber than a rock!) I've been on this site for about an hour now, looking through the forums, for any clue as to how to get started using your database blog I installed on my web site at http://www.whatifwetry.com. First Question: On my web site, when you click on "Blog", there is a login box...no log in or password...no posting! What I'm typing in right now, is what I want on my web site. It says "Post a New Topic" here, then you can type in the "Subject", and then you can type in what I am right now. At the bottom it says "Submit" and I presume this will get posted then. How simple. This is my first web site and blog, so this will probably be "old hat" to you guys, but please guys, can't you put some simple instructions on this web site on how to set up and use your new Serendipity Blog? (And how to get rid of the "Login Box" so anyone can use it) A nice link aat the top of your web site would be nice for a newbe.

Hi!

you have installed Serendpity by using a software called RVSC. They have changed Serendipity in central aspects, especially the login routine. We cannot give support for that, so please ask your service provider for these issues.

Serendipity does have some basic documentation on www.s9y.org, did you spot that? This link is also shown at the top of this forum site.

Regards,
Garvin

Oh goodie - another serendipity site by RVSiteBuilders!

You COULD get rid of that version of serendiptiy and go for a direct installation of serendipity by creating a new database, and uploading a regular version of serendipity. Check the Installation Documents for more information.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the replies. I found the solution at RVSB's to get rid of the login box that appeared on every page of my web site, here it is for further use of anyone that needs it:

How can I remove the login box on my website?
Please go to step3 click "embed code top section" and paste following code at source tab.

<style>

div#RVS_leftside {display:none;}

</style>

and save. Whenever you want to login go to http://{Website Domain}/rvsindex.php?/user/user/ or http://{Website Domain}/rvsindex.php/user/user/

Thanks,Gary.
