[Typo3] Converting static site into Typo 3

[Matt Mucklo]

Thank you for your help, the HTMLArea editor is working pretty well for me. 
I got pointed to KB-Content-Slide for the static content that's at the root 
of the page and gets propagated to all sub-pages.  You also mentioned 
creating a repository for the content, then 'Hard coding' it, how would one 
go about doing this?

Second, you mentioned a 'shortcut' can you explain what this does and how I 
would implement it?

Thanks,
