I successfully added a page, which did appear in the navigation. I subsequently deleted the page (since the content remains un-finished). It all worked really well. Can I just confirm that it is NOT possible for me to remove any content that I have not created? >> The site also allows one to give content a more readable URI, but I >> suspect you have to be an admin to do that? > > An admin or a writer, yes.

Perhaps a new "book" with simple drupal instructions, specifically for dcglug members? http://drupal.org/node/284 Found that useful ;-) > Sadly, that is the ongoing price we will all have to pay because of > those who abused the site when it used a more accessible system. > > Neil Williams Neil and Simon, thanks for the advice and adjustments :-) Hopefully they will be useful to others (rather than me alone).
