Install the plugin just like any other WordPress plugin. Here is an article on how to install a plugin in WordPress.

OTW Grid Manager Light – top

Create a new page or edit an existing one. Once you are in the page edit screen, go down bellow the content editor and look for OTW Grid Manager Light metabox. Add some rows from the “Add row” button. Then put some columns in your rows. In the columns you can place some content items that are the actual content that the users will see on your pages. The rows and the columns are the skeleton of your layout. The skeleton is to make sure your content is on the right place.

Content items – top

Content items are the actual content that will be displayed on your pages and your users will see. An item can be inserted in a column only. Go to any column and press the “Add item button”. Once you do that a popup with all available options for that item will be opened. On the right hand side in the section called “Preview” of the popup you will be able to see the changes you are doing. No need to code anything. It is all done in this easy to use interface.
