New Business:
1. Capturing How-To's - (Georgette) -- Can we start doing this? What do we need to ask Trellon to provide?
Examples: Selecting background color in Tables:
* Exactly what colors are we using?
* Is there a way to institute color choices as styles (for ease of use and consistency)?
* Can a row be deleted or inserted such that info in other rows will move up or down into appropriately colored new row (without having to recolor each row)? Answer: Select Table properties icon, Advanced tab, in box choose Update all even (or odd) rowsLight gray: #e7e9e9* Once a unit is themed (ex, Search for Hikes on Go Hiking switch page), how do we access the theme for use in similarly-designed units elsewhere (ex, Hike of the Week on the Home page)
Medium gray: #cacdcd
* About inserting pictureso I wanted to insert an image into the Spotlight block (home page), but couldn't figure out how to do it.
o Do we need to store pictures anywhere in particular in order to insert them?
