Publications Page

Publications Page

The Publications page was designed to be a home for newsletters, a more dynamic layout to display articles, and a way to present brief announcements without the need to click into an article.

Intro Section

For the top of the publications page, you have the option of using either the "Standard" Intro Section or the "Featured News" section. If no content is added, the next section containing content will display at the top. Whichever intro type you select, it will be important that you select articles with images!

Standard Intro:
