What is the Viewtop?
REBOL is a system-independent, lightweight distributed computing
platform. It's like a virtual operating system that spans
computers on the Internet. The REBOL/View
Desktop is a kind of specialized Internet browser that lets
you easily see content published by other REBOL users on the
World Wide Reb.

Using the Viewtop
The REBOL/View desktop (viewtop) has three main areas.
- The menu bar across the top.
- The bookmark panel on the left: the icons here are shortcuts, just
like bookmarks in a browser. You can edit the bookmarks.r file to
add your own shortcuts.
- The main folder panel shows the icons for the current folder (each
folder is a Rebsite on the World Wide Reb). To navigate to a new folder
or website, launch an application, or view content, just single click
the icon for that item. Right-clicking lets you view details about an item.
More details on using the desktop are available here.

Creating your own Rebsite
It's easy -- even easier than creating a website. Rebsites are different than
websites, though, so it's worth taking some time to read the document
about Publishing on the Reb to get ideas
on how to structure them, what to include, and other helpful information.
