  11. Create Link Directly off of a Navigation Item • Create the category • Set the Page Layout to Full Content • Create content in that category as follows: • Make the Content Type = Link • Complete the rest of the link items • DO NOT create subcategories under this left navigation category. Because the link will go to a different site or page, there is no place for the sub-categories to be displayed.

  25. Blank Title Field Spacing Eliminated • If the author wants to omit the title field, s/he is obliged to put a space in the field. When this is done, the space is displayed and there is too much white space at the top of the component. • Now the space will be recognized and the Description Field shifted up. • This change is automatic.
