Hi all,
I am very new to Drupal. I installed drupal 5.1 in my local system and practicing it. I need my home page as given url.

for that i installed combustion theme and done some modifications in CSS. I done header, footer parts and menu part. It is showing like the following url.

Now i want to modify the Main content(Main body). I removed all my blogs, forums, story and pages but it is showing some instructions.

Can any one suggest me what changes i have to do, to build my site. Advance Thanks.

Regards,
Phani Krishna

The instructions will show automatically when there is no content.

As soon as you create your first node, the instructions disappear.

Each Story or Page will have it's own page, and if you "promote to front page" (publishing options at bottom of node creation form), a title/teaser will automatically be displayed on the front page.

The homepage contains two columns of "teasers" to other pages. By default, Drupal only uses one column for the content part of a page.

The Panels module (http://drupal.org/project/panels) can help make a page with two columns.

The User login links and site statistics are Blocks already available to Drupal, have a look at Site Summary module for the statistics. The Login Menu module can make the login/register links, or you could create a custom Block.

Your existing site could be recreated in Drupal quite successfully, what are you having (specific) trouble with?
