Section 3 : Adding Content
Quick Tip:If you are copy pasting your content ;First copy it into a notepad document( for mac users "text edit" ) so that the content loses all its formating .Then paste it onto the WPS.This makes you content get the default formatiing of the WPOs which has been designed to match the style of the new design.

content to be edited is the main index file.Right click on it and select
"Edit Page"
After editing click on the "save and exit" button |

because the tabs do not have any content by themselves, just a
collection of all the subtabs)
Right click on the index folder inside the tab folder and click "Edit Page".Here you can add content for the "Home" sub tab.
After editing click on the "save and exit" button |
