Before you use the help pages, it is important to know some of the Drupal Gardens documentation conventions.
Navigation conventions
In the Drupal Gardens help, navigation instructions are given as a "click path", which is how you get to your destination by clicking through the admin menu and tabs.
For example, when the help says "Go to Structure > Blocks", you should click Structure in the admin menu, and then click the link to the Blocks page."
Variables
When you see square brackets ([ ]), it means you should replace the text with the information relevant to your site. For example, [sitename] refers to the name of your site.
