On the first official OPEN LAB we talk about the More menu, which becomes available when editing pages, and how it enables useful commands like Move, Rename, and more in detail: Show Regions. 

Tune in to find out how identifying the Regions in your Cascade pages will help you make high-level edits and customizations to your site.

This time we look into:

• Create a New Page and insert HTML
• Embed content from FaceBook plugin
• Use external resource (FB plugin) to create Social Media Feed
• Edit social media feed Format
• Change Region assignments
• Create a Block and embed content
• Use Full-Screen Preview for review and sharing

• Using the Sidebar Menu navigation option (available in Feature Text).
• How pages are ordered in the menu by your Order preference.
• Customizing the menu by choosing Manual link entry.
• Create sub menus for your Manual links.

• NOTE : for best results, have your images prepared with matching heights

The Rule of 3

The Grid Builder works using 3 items per row. This means you will need to account for multiples of 3 in order to avoid errors. 

Options for these gird items are: Feature Text, Large Content, and Image with Overlay. (See video for the rundowns on each.)

You will have to occupy each row with 3 in any combination. It is also possible to have a grid item use up more than one space. This is very useful when executing a design that needs only 1 or 2 items on a row.  

To create a "blank" space on the grid:

• Choose the Large Content grid item.
• There needs to be some type of content, so we can insertany type  any text and paint it the color of the background
  
• For example, Type "blank", then paint it white: Text Color > White
    
• This creates invisible text that occupies 1 block on the grid. If you need a grid space that is 2-columns wide, scroll down to Size and change it to take up 2 spaces.
