The enhanced templates are very flexible. While they each begin with some suggested content, you can customize the pages to achieve the personal look you want for your Web site.

The course pages have text areas in the center column for you to provide information about the course you are taking. Just delete the placeholder text, and enter your information. If you do not want to use the course content, just delete the placeholder text and leave the text area blank, and it won't appear on your published Web page.

The templates have six layout areas: Header, Subheader, Left Column, Center Column, Right Column, and Footer. Follow these steps to hide layout areas and customize your page layout:

1. Select Hide on the toolbar of any layout area you do not want to be displayed on your published page.
2. Click Save.
   You can also hide individual pieces of content to keep them from being displayed to visitors to your Web site until the content is finished and ready to be published.

Start building your page by inserting page elements into the layout areas, such as a content section, image gallery, journal, group of links, or global content and global navigation -- or any combination of the above. Follow these steps to add an element to a layout area on your Web page:

1. Open the "Insert" drop-down menu at the top of the layout area to which you want to add an element.
2. Select the type of element from the drop-down menu, such as "content section". The new content will appear at the bottom of the layout area, underneath any existing content.
