# Planet Mongo, version 0.04a

Click here for the Planet Mongo help portal.

## Welcome!

Welcome to the Planet! Feel free to click around a bit.

Guess what? As of 0.04a, Planet Mongo now has a simple (and ultra-versatile) user system! Check out the new page for more info!

Here's a few quick pointers to get you started...

- All of Planet Mongo can be customized in configuration files. Open up the file 'config/config.php' to start customizing your new Planet Mongo installation!
- You can put all of your content pages in the 'content' directory. All of your content files will be listed automatically, just like this file ('welcome.index.php') was listed. If you don't like the way it was listed, then you can just hard-code the links to the content files by editting the options found in 'config.php'.
- Want to use your own theme? It's easy! Nose into the 'themes' directory, and open up the file called 'simplex.php'. As you can see, the entire theme is kept in just one file, and does not require any PHP code (you can use PHP code to sign your name and customize more advanced features of your theme, but it is not required.). You can use it as a model for creating your own theme file. To change themes, open up 'config/config.php' and set the `$theme` variable to a path to the file for your theme.
- This file is found in the "content" directory. You'll find a few other sample files there. This directory is where you can put your own content!
- Interested in using Planet Mongo as a homepage or blog? You can add your news stories to the 'news' directory.
- Have fun, and don't be afraid to experiment!

Planet Mongo is still in its alpha stages. Please help development by reporting bugs! Report bugs at the Highly-Official Planet Mongo Site.

## Random Quote

The Random module is quite useful. You can use it for random quotes, random images, or even for randomizing the order of page elements!

## What does alpha mean?

This is an ALPHA version. That means that it's nearly impossible to use, mostly because it is very unpolished (it doesn't have too many known bugs). So please, unless you know exactly what you are doing, don't use Planet Mongo just yet. Wait a month and check out the Highly-Official Planet Mongo Website website until Planet Mongo gets into the "beta" stage. If you are determined to rough it out, then good luck... you'll need it.
