Is it possible to use the Pages function in BL2 to create separate, independent pages on my site? My site does not use BL2 as the core structure of the site. That is I am using another system for my index page and other pages, just using BL2 to create albums and album sets.
My idea is to create separate pages (for informational uses with inline images) that could be linked to through menu sets I create for use on the BL2 albums and album sets. By my reckoning that can be done in theory, but then where would the actual "pages" exist on the site? Where would I find them on the server?
Or is this not an option when using BL2 without its root index.php file?

No. To use Backlight pages you would need to replace the index page of your existing site.

that is correct.

Thanks, Rod.
In thinking on this a bit more, I have found the solution to what I am trying to do, I believe:
1) In Backlight Admin, create a new top-level gallery
2) Assign an Album Set Template to the new gallery that contains the text, and whatever else I want to publish there - including inline images I believe. And/or I could edit the page copy for this new top-level gallery.
3) Could then link to this page through Menu Sets that contain its URL
I could create as many of these as I want. No albums or album sets involved (unless I want to do that).
Probably more to this, but it seems to work.

that should work.
