== Installation ==
install and activate the plugin. Then visit the classyfrieds page in your admin panel for some 'First Light' information
Read a bit, visit the permalink page and you're good to go.

Classyfrieds come standard with different layouts and stylesheets, you can see all standard layouts by using the SWITCH ME option over at : http://classyfrieds.com/classyfrieds/


== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= How do the categories and tags work in the classifieds =
categories in classyfrieds are separated from normal categories so they will not show in your regular post-category sections and are contained to the classifieds. Tags on the other hand are purposely mixed with your regular blog tags, so if you run a tag-cloud or other tag widget it will also show tags from your directory listings or classifieds section.

= Why is this not working for me ? =
We don't know ! We'll need some more information. Drop a line in our forums and be specific about your problem. In the meantime, try visiting the permalink settings in your admin panel, and read the first-light section inside the plugin admin UI.

= Where do I get more information ? = 
The forum over at http://classyfrieds.com/forums/ is monitored most frequently by the developers. Alternatively you could try and post on the plugin page at wordpress.org but be warned that we do not visit those forums regularly.
