Boxes Boxes Everywhere!

Adding boxes to your guide is key.

How else are you going to get your smarts out to the world??

We have many types of boxes...in the neighborhood of 20, if you really want to know.

Woah...that's a lot! How do I figure out which one to use??

It all depends on the type of information you want to add to the box:

  • Just need some text and/or images? Use a Rich Text Box.
  • Adding links? Use a Simple Web Links or Links & Lists Box.
  • Adding book info? Use a Books from the Catalog Box.

More info about boxes:

  • We try to make it obvious what the box is for.
  • Every box has a rich text portion (the add text link at the top)...
  • ...but the functionality of the box is at the bottom. That's where you'll see Add New Link, Add New Box, Add RSS Feed, etc.
