  1. Webgenz CMS 6.0.0 is Released! Read About the New Features
  
  Webgenz CMS 6.0.0 was released last month with a number of new,
  exciting features, including:
  
  *An advanced macro tag for conditionally including blocks of code --
  You can now use the Advanced Macro Tag [@{MACRO_NAME] to
  conditionally include entire blocks of HTML code if the Macro has a
  value. You can view an example of how to use this Macro Tag at:
  http://www.webgenz.com/faq.html#Conditional
  
  *An enhanced command line interface --
  Using the Webgenz CMS command line interface is a powerful way
  to integrate Webgenz CMS into build scripts and other automated
  procedures. Now, you can call Webgenz from the command line
  without having the Webgenz screen display and receive the focus.
  Using a new command line option, Webgenz can be started from
  the command line in a minimized state. Read more about the
  Webgenz CMS command line options at:
  http://www.webgenz.com/userguide/command.html
  
  *A Webgenz CMS tutorial --
  New users will find the Webgenz CMS Tutorial a great way to
  get started. This tutorial introduces the fundamental concepts
  behind Webgenz and takes you through the process of building
  your first project. Thanks to technical writer and Webgenz user
  Nicholas Coldrick for his work on this tutorial. This tutorial is also
  available online at: http://www.webgenz.com/userguide/tutorial.html

  3. Webgenz CMS Tips & Tricks
  
  Configuring Your Text Editor
  
  A few releases ago, an important productivity enhancement
  was added to Webgenz CMS. When editing a Content File,
  you are now able to double-click on the name of a Macro and
  open your text editor with the cursor positioned right at the
  Macro definition that you want to edit.
  
  To use this feature you must be using a text editor that supports
  a command line option for opening a file and placing the cursor
  at a specific line number. Some editors that support this include
  Emacs, EditPlus, and TextPad. Read more about this feature at:
  http://www.webgenz.com/faq.html#Editor
  
  Adding Dates to Your Pages
  
  It's easy to add a date to any page that is generated with
  Webgenz CMS. Just use the build-in Macro [@DATE]
  and Webgenz will replace this Macro with the current date
  and time that the file was generated. The [@DATE] Macro
  supports a range of formatting options so that the date
  can appear just as you want it to. Here are examples of
  some of the formatting options and their results:
  
  [@DATE]
   8/28/2002 8:22:35 AM
  
  [@DATE(@format:mm/dd/yyyy)]
   08/28/2002
  
  [@DATE(@format:dddd, mmmm dd, yyyy)]
   Wednesday, August 28, 2002
  
  [@DATE(@format:ddd, mmm dd, yyyy)]
   Wed, Aug 28, 2002
  
  [@DATE(@format:mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss AM/PM)]
   08/28/02 08:22:35 AM
  
  [@DATE(@format:h:m:s a/p)]
   8:22:35 a
  
  Importing Your Configuration When You Upgrade
  
  Webgenz CMS makes it easy to restore your custom
  configuration settings when you upgrade to a new
  version of Webgenz. The custom configuration settings
  for Webgenz are stored in a file called webgenz.ini.
  
  When installing a new version of Webgenz CMS, it is
  recommended that you install the new version in a
  new directory (there is no need to uninstall the previous
  version). Once you have installed the new version,
  select 'Tools-> Import Options..." from the main
  Webgenz menu. Then browse to the file webgenz.ini
  in the directory where your previous version of
  Webgenz CMS is installed. Select the file and click
  "Next>" to continue the process of importing your
  configuration settings.
  
  Check Your Version
  
  You can easily check whether you are running the
  current version of Webgenz CMS. Just select
  "Help -> About Webgenz CMS" from the main
  Webgenz menu. Then click the "Version Check..."
  button on the About screen that appears.
