+!!General layout and themes
+The general layout of a bitweaver site is controlled by the ((theme)), each theme impliments its own ((CSS)), and ultimately these control the general layout of the page. By default, and in most of the themes in general distribution the general layout of a bitweaver site is like this:
+
+||__::Top Bar::__
+::Left Column:: |::Centre Column::|::Right Column::
+::Bottom Bar::
+::Bottom bar 2?::||
+
+!!Columns and modules
+The left and right columns are optional. While the center column contains the main content of the site (wiki pages, articles, blog posts, discussion boards etc. ) the left and right columns contain ((module))s. A module itself is just a content block that contains a ((menu)), graphic, or some other content that can be pulled from the database.
+
+!!Assigning modules to groups and packages
+Modules can be assigned to be viewable only within certain packages and only to specific groups within those packages. The first step in designing your site is to establish which modules are visable by default to unregistered ((user))s. Next, you may want to give additional modules to people who are using certain packages: for instance, including a ((recent changes)) module for users who are working on ((wiki)) pages.
