History
Cutting a long story short. Originally the project started as a single web page, with a desire to learn PHP, this became a very basic content manager, feature requests, time and the continued learning experience made this what it is today.

I have now only recently published to continue learning and developing this tool. So feel free to use, contribute, comment and make suggestions.

system database encryption key's will be generated for you, you can change this, but you will loose any encrypted data, this is generated per install, and is not shared with any other site.

Your database will be created for you giving you default parameters, and menus.
You will by default have a calendar, homepage and login menu, once you login you will see the other system menus.

Once complete click next, and you can login, and start playing.
