+ <h1>introduction to site-C-ing</h1>
+ <p>
+  This is a sample site, which is supposed to demonstrate <em>site-C-ing</em>
+  features. Since the <em>site-C-ing</em> is still at the early stages of
+  development or rather proof of concept, this site is also far from being
+  complete. I am planning to add more pages as the time permits, though.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+  Once you download and install <a
+  href="http://kin.klever.net/sitecing/">site-C-ing</a> you may wish to try
+  this sample site for yourself. The source is available from <a
+  href="http://kin.klever.net/sitecing/sources">the site-C-ing download
+  page</a>. After you download the source code, you should configure it using
+  the ever so popular <code>configure</code> script. It is likely that you will
+  want to pass the <code>--with-vhostname</code> option to configure to name
+  the apache virtual host.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+  The configure script will generate the apache vhost configuration for you,
+  which you can <code>Include</code> in the main apache configuration file.
+ </p>
+ <p class="note">
+  Note, that the configuration is tailored for apache 2.x. It is no problem to
+  get it working with apache 1.3.x, although I haven't tried and so I am not
+  sure if it will run out of the box (your patches are <a
+  href="mailto:sitecing-patches@klever.net">welcome</a>). Also note that you
+  will need <a href="http://fastcgi.com/">mod_fastcgi</a> apache module, which
+  is the only CGI-interface supported by the <em>site-C-ing</em> engine at the
+  moment.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+  Once you get it all done you will want to restart your apache and start the
+  <em>site-C-ing</em> fastcgi server by issuing the <code>make restart</code>
+  command.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+  Before you download it, you may wish to <a href="/sources" title="source
+  browser">examine the sources</a> to learn more about how it is done.
+ </p>
