Blocks

Blocks allow you to set up pre-set layouts on the page, such as multiple columns, an image carousel or news items. Below the main page section, you will see a drop down which allows you to add new blocks. 



Once you've added new blocks, you can edit them from here too.  Blocks can either go before (top blocks) or after (bottom blocks) the main page content. You can leave the main page empty if you wish to only use blocks.  Columns default to conaint HTML (using the WYSIWYG editor) but can be set to contain special content - one of: news items, events, a twitter feed, an image overlay (square image with text over) or contain dissemination items (papers, journals) set in the dissemination tool.
