== Site Layout Overview ==

 
Depending on the version you are running and on the styles you have selected,
your layout may appear different than the example below. Still, the major
components of the system are the same regardless of the specifics of your site.

The following diagram shows a typical site, with the major parts labeled

== Header ==

This area contains items that appear on every page of your site. Typical items
include a site logo, a quick search form, navigational buttons and the time and
date. Different styles may show or hide different elements in the header. For
example, some styles do not use a logo while others do not provide a search
form.

Expert tip: You can modify the header.thml file in the layout directory to add,
modify or delete elements shown on in the header section of the site.
 


== Content ==

The center area of your site is used to present content. In most cases, this
content are articles or stories posted to the site. Other content, such as
static pages and discussion forums may appear in the content area.
 


== Left & Right Blocks ==

The left and right blocks provide a place for site controls such as
administrative links as well as small contained spaces for adding items such as
polls, about messages, site updates, upcoming events and more. 
 


== Footer ==

Like the header, the footer is shown on most pages on the site. Typically, the
footer contains credit, copyright and contact information.

Expert tip: You can modify the footer.thml file in the layout directory to add,
modify or delete elements shown on in the header section of the site.
