Just getting started and having trouble. Already have template and html pages built. I have 8 section pages that will have navigation links to other pages in the section. Really not sure how to get started.

Welcome Maja,
If you've already created some sections in CMS Builder, that a great start.
For practice, choose one of your sections. In the drop down menu, there is an option that says "Admin: Code Generator". The code generator helps you to create the php code that will actually get information from your database and display it on your website.
Copy and paste this code into a new file with a .php extension. Once this is uploaded to your server, try running the page. This will give you a sense of how CMS Builder can display your information. Feel free to try changing the information around how ever you like.
Once you feel comfortable with that, try moving your code to a page that has your template on it. (NOTE: it's important that these pages also have a .php extension). Now, it's just a matter of getting your information to fit where you would like it to inside your template.
Give that a try and feel free to post back if you run into any trouble.
Hope this helps.
