What is the max width of the center content column on second and third tier pages? If I want to place an image in the center column how wide can it be? And how wide can the image be if there will NOT be a right hand sidebar?

The maximum width for a page with a sidebar is 450px. This is the "standard" image size in the size dropdown when adding an image.

The maximum width for a page with no sidebar is 680px. This is the "large" image size in the size dropdown when adding an image.

Click the name of the page where the node currently appears so that it is highlighted in black.
Click the Delete button.
Save the node.

Can a page have more than one "Text for right column" node? If I create more than one, the previously created item becomes hidden.

Yes. This has to do with the different between a page and a node. Once you have created a sidebar page, by choosing "Text for right column" in the page's Menu appearance settings, you can then add one or more nodes to the page using the Add option under the Content tab of the Edit Console.

Is there an easy way to change a finished sidebar into a Carousel?

1. Click the "[Edit]" link at the top of the sidebar.
2. Click "Settings" in the Edit Console.
3. Expand the "Appearance" section.
4. Expand the "Menu Appearance" section.
5. Click the "Carousel" radio button.
6. Click the "Save Settings" button.

Because they are designed for different portions of the page, and the Carousel has a fixed height, you will probably need to change some of the content in the nodes to make it look good in its new Carousel presentation.

Hello, I am quite sure I signed up for a workshop, but I did not keep a record of when it was. Sorry! Do you by any chance have a record of who is signed up for when, and can you refresh my memory?

You can contact the Helpdesk to check on workshop and worksession scheduling. Though we encourage you to schedule ahead to ensure a spot, many of these workshops and worksessions were lightly attended (at least at the end of December) and you'll likely be able to sit in if you just show up.
