+Now you can go to the url it told you, and edit pages in your new wiki
+using the web interface.
+
+(If the web interface doesn't seem to allow editing or login, you may
+need to [[configure_the_web_server|tips/dot_cgi]].)
+
+## Checkout and edit wiki source
+
+Part of the fun of using ikiwiki is not being limited to using the
+web for editing pages, and instead using your favorite text editor and
+[[Revision_Control_System|rcs]].
+
+To do this, you need to check out a copy of the source to your wiki.
+(You should avoid making changes directly to the `srcdir`, as that
+checkout is reserved for use by ikiwiki itself.)
+
+Depending on which [[Revision_Control_System|rcs]] you chose to use,
+you can run one of these commands to check out your own copy of your wiki's
+source. (Remember to replace "foo" with the real directory name.)
+
+ git clone foo.git foo.src
+ svn checkout file://`pwd`/foo.svn/trunk foo.src
+ cvs -d `pwd`/foo get -P ikiwiki
+ bzr clone foo foo.src
+ hg clone foo foo.src
+ darcs get foo.darcs foo.src
+ # TODO monotone, tla
+
+Now to edit pages by hand, go into the directory you checked out (ie,
+"foo.src"), and fire up your text editor to edit `index.mdwn` or whatever
+other page you want to edit. If you chose to set up a blog, there is even a
+sample first post in `posts/first_post.mdwn` that you can edit.
+
+Once you've edited a page, use your revision control system to commit
+the changes. For distributed revision control systems, don't forget to push
+your commit.
+
+Once the commit reaches the repository, ikiwiki will notice it, and
+automatically update the wiki with your changes.
+
+## Customizing the wiki
+
+There are lots of things you can configure to customize your wiki.
+These range from changing the wiki's name, to enabling [[plugins]],
+to banning users and locking pages.
+
+If you log in as the admin user you configured earlier, and go to
+your Preferences page, you can click on "Setup" to customize many
+wiki settings and plugins.
+
+Some settings cannot be configured on the web, for security reasons or
+because misconfiguring them could break the wiki. To change these settings,
+you can manually edit the setup file, which is named something like
+"foo.setup". The file lists all available configuration settings
+and gives a brief description of each.
+
+After making changes to this file, you need to tell ikiwiki to use it:
+
+ % ikiwiki --setup foo.setup
+
+Alternatively, you can ask ikiwiki to change settings in the file for you:
+
+ % ikiwiki --changesetup foo.setup --plugin goodstuff
+
+See [[usage]] for more options.
+
+## Customizing file locations
+
+As a wiki compiler, ikiwiki builds a wiki from files in a source directory,
+and outputs the files to a destination directory. The source directory is
+a working copy checked out from the version control system repository.
+
+When you used `auto.setup`, ikiwiki put the source directory, destination
+directory, and repository in your home directory, and told you the location
+of each. Those locations were chosen to work without customization, but you
+might want to move them to different directories.
+
+First, move the destination directory and repository around.
