Youtube tutorials on building pages

Hi,

I’m new to using this template and honestly, I’m quickly growing to hate the damn thing.

I’d like to request a quick Youtube video tutorial on building out a homepage and maybe a page or 2 with subcategories.

The modules and blocks instructions are not very clear and if you’re unfamiliar with the template they honestly don’t help much.

I’m trying to build a homepage and I keep having to reload the demo as a starting point to figure out how to build. I don’t have time for that as my site is launching live soon.

This seems like a really good product, but I’m getting off to a rough start with it.

Thanks,

John

hi,

the theme structure is like this
a couple of modules create a block.
http://import.tagdiv.com/newspaper/doc/#blocks

to create a page using blocks:

http://screencast.com/t/I1oEuN9Ptk
http://screencast.com/t/xNKiQIcZhc

you can add as many blocks you want on a page.
be careful with the filters, change the filters for each block or yuo might get the same post on the page multiple time.

if you want to use template :
