What is the Website Content Manager?

• The Website Content Manager, (WCM) is a wonderful
  new method of creating and updating web pages
  without all that tedious mucking about in HTML.
• Whilst users must be IT literate, no knowledge of
  mark-up, style-sheets, FTP or any other
  specialist software is required.

  PC. However, it is usable on other systems, for
  example Firefox 1.0 on Mac OS X

  disable page caching in your browser (to do this
  in in IE5. for Windows select Tools gt Internet
  options... from the menus. Under the section
