However... 2003-10-17 Created Step 3 There is a large blank space which we need to populate. First we are going to make this whitespace display a list latest reviews. 2003-10-17 Created Step We are going to create a headlines component which will list the latest reviews. First of all, we need to go on the content tab. 2003-10-17 Created Step 5 Then we can select the 'headlines' option, and click ok. 2003-10-17 Created Step 6 A headlines component is created. It is made of three fields. 2003-10-17 Created Step 7 The most important field is the base headlines path. For examples, if you had a lot of news in /news/ and you wanted a list of most recent news, you would enter /news/. In our case, we want a list of all the documents sitewide so we'll enter /. 2003-10-17 Created Step 8 The title of the headlines component should say what you're listing. In this case, we're listing reviews, so we'll enter 'lastest reviews'. 2003-10-17 Created Step 9 What is the maximum number of reviews that we want to list? Let's make it 10. 2003-10-17 Created Step 10 Now that we're done with the headlines component, let's press 'save changes'. 2003-10-17 Created Step 11 As you can see, we have now a list of latest reviews along with their descriptions.

Since we want the text to be before the headlines we press the 'up' button to place the text component before. 2003-10-24 Created Step 14 After moving the component at the top of the page and writing some introductory text, we can finally press 'Save Changes'. 2003-10-24 Created Step 15 There! 2003-10-24 Created Step 16 The final result. 2003-10-24 Created Managing your frontpage text/html HTML application/xml XML
