Thanks for trying Quick News.

I won't burden you with any GPL stuff. If you modify this script and maybe even make a few bucks, 
good on ya! All I hope is that you'll pass it on someday so someone else can do likewise. 

If you work for Microsoft, using this script requires that you pay me $1000 every year until you die, 
whether or not you actually continue to use this script.

INSTALLATION

To use this script, you just have to upload it using the existing directory structure to wherever you 
want it to be on your server. Then complete the following steps:

1.) Open your browser and enter the url for the directory you have created. ie: http://yoursite.com/quick_news/ . 

2.) Follow the on screen instructions. 

3.) To access the administration tools, use http://yoursite.com/quick_news/quick_news.php?mode=admin .

4.) If for some reason you forget your username/password (Yeah! like that would happen?), you 
    can look at the file users.php in the ./quick_auth directory to recover it.


That's the basics! If you want to do something a lottle more advanced, read on...


Customizing the Look

There are files in the ./templates directory that you can edit to make this news script look 
however you want it to. Here's a brief description of each:

	header.inc - 
	standard html header. You can just replace this with the header from 
	one of your other web pages.

	footer.inc -
	standard html footer. You can just replace this with the header from 
	one of your other web pages. 

	quickcomments_template.inc - 
	This file determines how your comments page displays.
	
	quicklist_template.inc - 
	This file determines how your news items are listed on a page.

	quicknews_template.inc - 
	This file determines how your news articles are displayed.
