The <Setup> option is used to configure the metadata used in your website header. As discussed in the Quick Start Guide, only the <Title> needs to be set by all users. Many of these, however, are used by <Plugins>, which in turn are used to build your website headers and footers. The advanced options listed below will be discussed under the <Plugins> option.
Gigatrees:
<SiteTitle> | [ ] | Used by the metadata and default.header plugins to replace %SiteTitle%. Use this option to set the title of your website. | |
<Name> | [ ] | Used by the metadata plugin to replace %PageAuthor% for all pages except Blog Posts. Use this option to set your name. It is not required. | |

Advanced Gigatrees:
<Header> | [ ] | Used by the default.header plugin. | |
<Footer> | [ ] | Used by the default.footer plugin. | |
<PreHeader> | [ ] | Used by the default.header plugin to replace %PreHeader%. | |
<DropHeader> | [ ] | Used by the default.header plugin to replace %DropHeader%. | |
<DropStyles> | [ ] | Used by the default.header plugin to replace %DropStyles%. | |
<DropMenu> | [ ] | Used by the default.header plugin to replace %DropMenu%. By default, %DropMenu% is replaced by an automatically derived navigation bar, but this can be overriden if needed. | |
<DropBody> | [ ] | Used by the default.header plugin to replace %DropBody%. | |
<DropFooter> | [ ] | Used by the default.footer plugin to replace %DropFooter%. |
Anytime a configuration option is modified, is overwrites that option destroying its previous value. There are a few exceptions to this rule, namely the <PreHeader>, <DropHeader>, <DropStyles>, <DropMenu>, <DropBody> and <DropFooter> options append previously defined values. This allows them to be used in <Plugins> to extend the headers and footers.
