I THINK THIS WAS POSTED IN THE WRONG PLACE SO I RE-POSTED.

Hi, Like a lot of Newbees I just can't get the same results as the tutorials.
Can we get a "from scratch" tutorial vid on how to construct a basic looking web page.
eg
TITLE BAR
3 COLUMNS
A CENTRAL VIDEO
BASIC MENU BAR
ETC
THAT WAY WE GET A COMPLETE OVERVIEW.
Unfortunately, all I can see is tutorials for pieces of the puzzle which makes it very difficult for us Newbees.

Thank you for your help.

Hey,

If I get time, I'll put together a quick tutorial on putting a page together, I can't promise if or when as I have a very busy schedule but I'll do my best to make some time for this.

My installation has gone very wrong. Uploading through Wordpress produced Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/content/h/e/a/heathhost/html/wp-content/themes/brightbox/framework/php/class-framework-widgets.php on line 610

I have now lost all functionality within wordpress. Cant do anything.

I tried to upload by FTP but can not unzip theme folder. Doesn't matter what I do.

Downloaded from Themeforest twice. Download seems fine. Just can't unzip.

Please help.

With Windows 7, (not vista) I have now managed to unzip, upload and overwrite files. However no improvement. I can't login to Wordpress anymore.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/content/h/e/a/heathhost/html/wp-content/themes/brightbox/framework/php/class-framework-widgets.php on line 610

Please advise.

I have now updated PHP. Hopefully that fixes the issue.

Hey,

You should be running PHP5 not PHP4, just FYI WordPress 3.2 will require PHP5.

Glad you got this solved.

Did you manage to ever get a more in-depth tutorial completed as requested from the original post?

I have read through the documentation of Brighbox, but I am a complete newbie and have no idea what portfolios are, what the difference is between categories and pages and how to get my website to look ~at least~ similar to the demos.
I tried to ~work with~ the dummy data, but then I couldn't get rid of it and keep the stuff I wanted and ended up resetting everything back and re-installing Brightbow...but I just sit and stare at it. ; )

I am hoping to have a front page, blog, articles for sale, about, etc. and I have no idea what I'm doing. Ack!

Is there anything that has screen captures of the various elements pointed out, like "This -----> is a portfolio." "This----> is where to change such and such." ???

Thank you!!!!!
