Hi everyone…
I'm an absolute newbie with wikidot in terms of creating my own site. I tried doing this using the standard template. This then took me to a page with URL of the form http:my-site-name.wikidot.com/system:welcome. However, when I type the URL http:my-site-name.wikidot.com, this takes me to the start page, i.e. the page with the big blue banner/background. I (think) that I understand that the start page is equivalent to a homepage. But I'm a bit confused about what to do with this page because of the two buttons: Get started and Clone this page. It turns out that both buttons bring up a "Clone site" dialogue box, but both give me errors. This dialog box asks for a Site title and a web address, followed by the statement "You will automatically become a Watcher of MY SITE TITLE and be informed of updates to it. You can disable this later." Why do I want to create a clone and become a watcher of my own start page? And why is the first page that opens the "system:welcome" page, rather than the home page. Clearly I am not understanding something quite fundamental in setting up a site using a template.
I apologise that my questions are so basic. I hope some generous soul will be able to point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance.
