To create a catalog, you must first login.

 

After logging in, click on "Admin Panel".  It should be where "login" was located. 

 

In admin panel, click "manage catalog".

 

Once in the catalog management dialog box, click the "create category" icon.   

Type the name of your catalog and submit. 

 

Don't worry about where the catalog will go, the default at creation is root or base level navigation.  We can move it later. 

 

You will then be brought back to catalog administration.  You now have the option of creating subcategories or product items.  Those are subjects of other articles.
