How do I edit my home page text???

Hi All,

Ive just been given access to the Admin FTP section of my website and need to learn how to use it.

The first thing I really need to do is edit the text on my homepage. I thought this may be straightforward and I would see how to do it as soon as I logged in, but its not as clear as i had hoped. I dont want to mess with it without knowing how to do it incase I wreck something!

Please could someone give me some instructions on how to do this? I would really appreciate it as I dont know how else I am going to figure this out!

Thanks for your help in advance,

Pink Pineapple

Administration Area >> Tools >> Define Pages

Select main page from the dropdown..

Thanks for that but I have tried it and nothing happens. Not sure what im doing wrong?

I also thought that it wasnt possible to edit the homepage from in the general admin area? I thought it needed to be done in the Control Panel which is a completely different program? Thats why I have asked for access to the FTP section.

Am I completely off track?

This is what it says on the page where you edit the main page -

Note: you should always edit the files located in your current template override directory, Example: /languages/english/html_includes/
Be sure to make backups after changing your files.

Editing file:
/home/steve1030/construction.pinkpineappleparty.co.uk/includes/languages/english/html_includes/classic/define_main_page.php

Does this have anything to do with it? and if so, what does it mean I need to do???
