Trying to get started... :)

[Hawkins]

Hello!

I am new to theme X and I had a few questions just getting started. Maybe there is some documentation following this or maybe not?

It seems that when I login to WP there are several different places to launch the website and also to make customizations. I am trying to find in details instructions on how to launch the site and also where the proper place is to make edits/customize themes?

Right now there is some left over code in the /layout place that needs to be removed and i am not sure how. It seems like there are two layouts that are trying to merge together.

Has anyone else ran into this issue? Thanks in advance for all of your assistance!
