#summary Basic documentation for using and customising the Morning After theme
#labels Featured

Once the theme is activated, the first thing you need to do is to create two categories called *‘Asides‘* and *‘Featured‘*. After that’s done, your home page will be displayed correctly. Now, we move on to the good stuff. For best results, please *disable the visual rich text editor* from the _Users > Your Profile_ page in your WordPress administration panel.

====A note about Custom Fields====

Custom fields are very useful for extending the functionality of a WordPress-powered Web site. Each custom field consists of two parts, a *key* and the *value* for the key. A lot of the added functionality provided by The Morning After is based on custom fields.

One important thing that you should keep in mind is that you only need to create a new key once, after which you can assign a value to that key for every post. What this means is, you don’t need to create the required custom field keys for every post, you can select them from the drop down list in your ‘Custom Fields’ section on the ‘Write’ page. I know it seems obvious, but I just thought I’d mention it for people who aren’t used to using custom fields. You can read more about custom fields [http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Custom_Fields here].

====Home page Web site description====

To add a description of your Web site on the home page (as seen in the [http://themasterplan.in/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/home_preview_themorningafte.png preview]), you need to create a Page called ‘Description’. Whatever content you enter in this Page will be displayed in the blue box on the home page.

====Header background images====

As you see in the preview, there is a thin strip with a background image just below the header with the ‘title’ of the page. You will see different background images for the home page, posts/pages, and archives. Please feel free to change the background images to suit your tastes. Make sure your images have dimensions of *965 × 70 pixels*, and name them as `home_banner.png` (for the home page), `single_banner.png` (for posts and pages), and `archive_banner.png` (for archives) respectively. Upload them to the `wp-content/themes/tma/images/bg/` folder.
