Ok, here are the steps (in order) that I understand to do to convert my
existing web site to midgard (at least most of it -- please comment on
any and all steps if I have misunderstood something -- sorry for being
such a newbie!):

1. Create a Page for each directory I have on the current site (like
help, signup, services, etc... i.e. www.mycompany.org/Page/ ) with the
root Page as my "home" page.

2. Create a Style for each "look" I want to have (like I can have a
holiday, spring, etc. "themes" to use, and the root Style is my default
or standard style.)

3. Create style elements that contain the actual html code for any html
template I reuse, with a special <[content]> tag in them, where I want
content and a special <[css]> tag that calls a style element for my css.

4. Then I create page elements for each "directory" that contains the
Page specific content... like the forms for the signup, or the php code
that pulls articles by topic (and makes the first letter a jpeg).

5. Then I can make groups that are allowed access to only those Pages
(which used to be directories) I want them to access ...

If this is one correct procedure for converting to midgard... then I'm
starting to understand it.

Except -- where do I put my image files -- and how do I reference them? 
Right now I have them stored in a single directory that all pages
access. So in my templates I have something like: <img
href="../directory/image.jpg"> -- would I make a style element that
calls the graphic from *somewhere?* for each of the template graphics I
use and then just put <[logo]> (and other names) in my styles, like I
did for my css code?

*when I'm done figuring this out, I'm going to have a very nice, "how to
convert your website to midgard in twenty steps or less" document.*

:)

Thank you so much for your help & patience.
