First steps in PageSeeder

Sign in to PageSeeder as an administrator and enable the developer view. To learn about what projects and groups are in PageSeeder, read 1. Before you start.

Great, lets get our feet wet!

Click the New project link in the System administration menu on the left-hand side.
