Before running BoxPress, you need to make a change to your Mac OS, via System Preferences. You need to make this change or date handling will fail.

Tinderbox date-type attributes inherit their syntax from the Mac OS. In order to be able to see all four digits of a year in Tinderbox, you need to make a modification to System Preferences > Language & Region > Advanced > Dates > Short:

But wait, there’s more. BoxPress has the ability to export negative dates as BCE. To enjoy this feature, you need to make another change:

BoxPress includes demo notes and sample images. Feel free to delete them.

Demo notes you can delete

Look for the container notes in square brackets inside of BlogPAGES and BlogPOSTS. Delete these notes inside BlogPAGES:

• [BoxPress Learning Center]
• [Hello World!]
• [MapSources]
• [SAMPLES FEST]

… and delete these notes inside BlogPOSTS:

•  [Sample Category]

Finder files you can delete

Delete all image files whose label of orange:

• All images inside BoxPressExport/img/. Do not delete the two special IMAGEMAPS and BoxPressThemes folders.
• All images inside BoxPressExport/img/IMAGEMAPS (but keep the IMAGEMAPS folder itself)

To save space when you zip and email your BEM, you can also delete:

• Any Theme Folders that you are not using. (You will need to keep ONE since BoxPress always applies images from some theme.)
• Any fonts in BoxPressExport/Fonts that you are not using.

Set the Local IMAGEMAPS Path.

BoxPress needs this in order to construct imagemap code for OmniGraffle imagemaps.

While not part of the official dashboards, the @Home agent text window is a “virtual” dashboard widget. To set the number of recent posts that appear on your landing page, just open the text window of your @Home agent and assign a number to the $MyNumber key attribute.
