 ====== Checklist ======
+The **Getting Started Checklist** is a collection of useful customizations that most people will want to consider when beginning a new website with GeoCore.
+If you have already done some work customizing your site (or have just upgraded from an older version of GeoCore), the checklist can automatically detect any progress you have already made -- just use the "Click here to auto-detect checklist progress." link near the top of the page, and the checklist will automatically update to reflect your settings.
+<tip c n>**Tip:** there are a couple of checklist items, such as "read the user manual" or "double-check everything" that cannot be detected by the server. Check these off manually if you have done them. :)</tip>
+====Checklist Sections====
+For ease of organization, the checklist is split up into five sections:
+  * Addons -- checks for the presence of common addons used by nearly every site
+  * Design -- checks to ensure "boilerplate" text in your templates (e.g. "My Site Name Here") has been changed, and other items relating to the site's appearance
+  * Pricing -- make sure you're fully set up to charge users for services provided by your site (or have turned off pricing, for a free site)
+  * Text -- a couple more instances of "boilerplate" text, such as your site's Terms of Service / EULA.
+  * Final Steps -- server-side optimizations to make sure your site runs as speedily as possible
+After updating the checked items, be sure to use the Save button at the bottom of the page to lock in your changes.
+If you have questions regarding the specifics of any Checklist item, open a Support Ticket and our staff will be more than happy to assist you.
