how to adjust main page navigation link - New footer layout
Generate footers tool
The new template only uses the FOOTER1 content element, so you should migrate all of your footer text to this content element even if you do not use the Web Footer Generator tool. Please remember footers are a tool to help visitors FIND YOU. Don't sacrifice communication clarity for the sake of creativity - List styles
New list styles and how to apply them (see bottom of page) - Form layouts
Toggle between form layouts using the Frame drop-down menu in the Form content element (General tab). Use your best judgment for which style looks better for your form. In general, the default is best for forms with long labels, and layout 1 is best when all labels are relatively short - Horizontal rules are styled to better serve as a content divider, not as an underline to headings
- Graphic use - Guidelines for suggested graphics use are pending
- Heading styles
Headings are adjusted. Details forthcoming. - Report a problem with new template
