If you have Plone installed locally, then this chapter shows you how Plone works straight out of the box. However, if you don't have Plone installed, then don't worry; you can try Plone online by going to http://plone.demo.raptus.com/en/index_html or http://plonehostingdemo.nidelven-it.no.

Before you can alter or edit a Plone site, you need to log into a Plone site. If you installed Plone, you should have the username and password that came with the installation. This user has the role of an administrator user, which allows you to log in and alter any content. Most users of a Plone site will join the site and log in through the login process described in the 'Joining a Site' section. Users can, of course, view a Plone site without logging in, but they won't be able to add or edit content.
