Jeff,
On some Microsoft page about the starter kits (which I can't seem to find now), there were comments that there was some learning documentation, with little chunks of tasks described to develop the pages in a kit, along with the Starter Kits.
From your message, I assume the documentation within the starter kit is all there is.
It's not too bad to do this. Select Website/Add Existing Item and simply add in the files required from the Starter Kit into your site (including the database and all the stored procedures - my version of VWDE did not have a template for stored procedures).
Then, run the pages and the error messages will tell you what needs to be changed because things aren't found (I tend to put things in logical folders, not in the root directory like the Starter Kit). Then, change the master pages and styles to conform to
look and feel of your site.
It is a thrill when it works.
Thanks,
Deborah
