# remember beginning?

 * I have a completely stupid, yet obvious question that I cannot find the answer
   to anywhere. So, with shields up for verbal barbs, I will ask it here. When you
   import a theme, and you have all this demo content, should I begin by erasing
   it all, or should I replace each section or post with my own content. My worry
   is if I erase it all it won’t retain the formatting. Or will it? Should I just
   give up now and hire someone, or should I suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous
   website building? (sigh)
 * Thanks in advance . . .

 * Hi there,
 * you can do either. Personally i would begin by writing my own posts – they will
   adopt the same style as the Site.
 * If the Site you imported has Landing Pages, those i would edit as they may content
   layouts that are part of the page content and won’t be present on a new Page.
