This is a minor terminology/wording/UI bit that seems troublesome to me...

------------
Any folder can be changed into a site (or changed from a site back to an 
ordinary folder). To change an ordinary folder into a site, just select the 
"Create Site" action in the folder. When a folder is changed to a site, the 
"Create Site" link becomes a "Manage Site" link.
-------------

Mainly it's using the word "create" when we're telling the user we're just 
changing the folder.  Yes, you are creating site-management folders and such 
-  but at the point the user clicks on "create site", they don't see any new 
objects appear, but instead just see a menu change.

Also, there's no mechanism described for how you'd change a site back to an 
ordinary folder.

Perhaps folders might have a property tab of some sort that had some radio 
buttons giving the choice:

------------
     Folder foo is a:

       [x]  plain folder
       [ ]  folder with a site manager

     <<save changes>>
------------

Then, if a user went to this tab, and made the change, having a "Manage Site" 
link appear or disappear back on the primary folder display tab would make sense.

Otherwise, I think the terminology changes are very helpful.
