How To Give WebGUI Your Own Style
This is anything but a short article, so be ready for a long haul. We're going to cover a lot of ground on how to make WebGUI behave the way you want it to. This article is aimed at the same sort of person I was at the beginning of Jan, 2007: I've installed WebGUI. Now what the heck do I do with it?

Subscriptions
Subscriptions allow you to sell your users group access on a subscription basis. To sell content to your users, set the content to be viewable by a certain group, then set that group to be used by the subscription. When a subscription expires for a user, the user is expired from the subscription group. The expiration for a subscription group and a subscription should match.
