Every page can contain a pretty much unlimited amount of items (within reason - obviously visitors don't want to see 400 news articles on one page!). These Page Items are things like News Stories and Info Boxes or a Twitter feed box, and most of them can be positioned left, right, top or bottom on the page.

1. Click on Edit from the top menu in Hidden CMS.

2. Locate the page you want to add items to, and click on it to view the Page Information screen (shown below)

3. On the right-hand side of the page information screen you'll see a drop-down box with an Add button next to it.  Select the type of item from the drop down box (Blank Box is shown above) and click on Add.

4. The Add new Blank Box screen will appear (see below)

5. Enter a Title (if your item has a visible header, such as a Text Box does, then the title will show above the content of the item).

6. If this item allows you to change the position, click on the drop down box for Position and you can choose where it goes on the page from this list.

7. If you want to alter the type of item you're adding, choose a different one from the Item Type drop-down list.

8. Put your main content in the large editor window at the bottom.

9. OPTIONAL EXTRAS:

• Enter some Keywords, separating each with a comma. This is used in the site search function, and to generate the related pages.
• Change the Parent to put this item within another page in the site
• Change the Mobile Option to either a) Show this page on mobile & desktop site  b) Show on the desktop site only  c) Show on the mobile site only (This only applies if you have a mobile version of the website built for you by Hidden Colour) 
• Add any Extra Classes for CSS styles to this item (advanced users only - you could define some classes in the Extra CSS field when adding a page, and then use those classes on this item)
• If the item type has the Summary tab available (above the save button), you can enter some text in here and it will show this, along with a 'Read More' link instead of the full content.

10. PLUGINS:

If you want to add a Plugin (view the plugin list) to this item:

• Click on the Plugins tab above the Save button.  
• Choose a Plugin Position and then select the one you want from the drop down list.  
• If the selected plugin has any options, another field will appear into which you can enter any Options (these are extra items you can specify to customise the behaviour of the plugin, and an example will be given below it).

11. Click on the Save button, and a message will display at the top of the page to confirm that the item has been added.  

12. You can now either View test page to see what your newly added item looks like in your page, click Update on live site to instantly make your changes live, or click Close to return to the page information screen.
