[Typo3] Hi all - just a quick one for a T3 newbie :-)

[Martin Hughes]

Hi Joshua!

Thank you!

I've read the docs through once so far and am pretty overawed. I can see 
this is going to take a long time to master, but that's fine.

There isn't a lot of stuff I want to keep, but I have a couple of bits - my 
main navigation menu for example - I have all my styles/colours hard coded 
in the menu and the way the menu operates is VERY specific. Also bits and 
pieces like small javascript and PHP functions I've written specifically for 
my site to do certain things.

T3 looks awesome though. The one thing I don't get is the tree heirachy - 
for example if I have a products subsection with main/specs/demos/whatever 
pages for each product, it would seem that every page must be created for 
each seperate product. I'm sure I'll get the hang of it soon though!!

Thanks again!

Martin
