Your index.php (home page template) allows up to 6 content sections to be assigned to a page and can contain text, images, etc.  These sections will display under the main content of the page.

*NOTE - There are 6 predefined monklet options that can be used in these sections and are outlined below.

In order to edit sections, you will need to first navigate to CONTENT > Sections > Click on the name of the section you wish to edit.

Once you are on the Section Edit page, you should see a screen that looks similar to the image above. Below is a description of the different fields you see in the image:

#1 - Name: This is the name of the section and is not displayed on the website anywereh
