I wonder if someone could help me with a problem that's been vexing the heck out of me these past few days. I've installed all the relevent modules and everything is 'enabled'. The problem stems from the fact that I've been thus far unable to see where it is I need to go in order to activate OG so that I can start creating the groups I need.
Can someone please give me a step-by-step (in plain English) guide to activating OG? Or at the very least provide me with a link to one that's already written! Someone did give me a link to a video, but the guy who did it spoke so fast that I could not follow what he was doing.
Any help would be gratly appreciated ... I'm using D7.

1st steps
After you install and enable the modules, you create a new content type from the structure\content types menu - say 'Groups' and when you do that you have the option to say that it is a group. Then you create a new content type - say 'Group Page' and when you do that you have the option to say it is group content. The content types are your content templates.
Go to create new content from the Content menu and select the 'Groups' content type. Give it the name of your first group. Do the same thing with your second group. These need not be set to 'published', but are the groups that your 'Group Page' contents will be associated with.
Now when you go to create actual content from the Content menu you select the 'Group Page' content type and you can select which group the new group page belongs to.
The Organic Groups readme file has some good overview information.
There is a video that might give you some ideas: http://www.archive.org/details/OrganicGroups7
Hope this helps.
No Option to Modify Group Layout
I've followed the video from Lewis and everything went fine until aroung 6:36 into the process. For some reason it did not give me the option to change the group layout. I did get the following message though, so I wonder if this could be the culprit ...
Notice: Undefined Index: label in entity_token_token_info_alter()(line 54 of home/content/.../torsurl/modules/entity/entity_token_tokens.inc)
Does anyone know how to resolve these issues? I'm almost there!
Many thanks!

Organic Groups Readme file
I need to find an overview of the Organic Groups module; where can I find the OG Readme file? Thanks in advance.
