Sometimes you will need to change the Welcome message displayed in the front page of elgg. In order to do this, first I did a "grep -r 'Welcome to' *' in the working copy. This showed that mod/bsctheme/views/default/canvas/layouts/new_index.php contains the welcome message that we need to edit.

When making this change, please make it first in a vm or in staging.bs.o.e. A new tag should be created and a svn switch should be done on the live site. This is a change that needs to be done by a developer that has ssh access to the beaversource box.
