Your First CodeRed Website: Part 2
==================================

Now let's start adding some content to our site.


Adding a hero unit to the home page
-----------------------------------

In the admin dashboard, select **Pages >**. This will open a tree-style view of all the pages
on our site. For now, the only page is Home Page. Click end pencil icon to edit the page, or click
"Home Page" and then the "Edit" button.

Here in the body section is where we can add our content. Each component in this section is called
a "block" and provides a different format of content. CodeRed CMS is heavily based on Bootstrap CSS
and its grid system, which means all content is based in rows and columns that dynamically stack depending
on the visitor's screen size.

First, let's make a big flashy hero unit. A hero unit in CodeRed CMS is a block that allows for
a full-width background image or background color, and has lots of padding by default.

Select the **Hero Unit** block. Next set a background image or color - I'm going to download and use
`this image <https://unsplash.com/photos/jwhqbR3clzQ>`_ from `Unsplash <https://unsplash.com>`_.

Now to add content to our hero unit, under the Content field select **Responsive Grid Row** and then
a **Column**. Inside my column I'll add **Text** and format it.

Next, click the small "+" icon directly below the text field. This will let you add another block
directly below the text, but still in the same column.

Select the **Button Link** block. We are going to add a "Learn More" button. Right now we don't have
any other pages on our site, so for the time being set **Other link** to "http://example.com", and
the **Button Title** to "Learn More".

My editing page now looks like this (ignore the misplaced side menu, that is just a result of the screenshot):

Next click the **Preview** button at the bottom, which will open up a preview of the home page in a new tab.
Great success!

Adding cards to the home page
-----------------------------

Next, let's say my company offers three different services, and I'd like to add three
uniformly-sized cards on the home page representing that. Go back to the tab with the home page
editor. All the way at the bottom of the page, click the "+" icon directly below the "Hero Unit" block.
This will add a new block directly below the hero unit.

Select the **Card Grid** block. The select **Card** to add the first card. Now fill out the **Title**,
**Body**, and add a **Button Link** at the bottom.

Next add and fill out two more cards by clicking the "+" icon directly below our current card block.

My editing page now looks like this (ignore the misplaced side menu, that is just a result of the screenshot):

Next click the **Preview** button at the bottom, which will open up a preview of the home page in a new tab.
Lookin' good!

Adding more content to the home page
------------------------------------

Continue following this pattern to add content. While the **Hero Unit** and **Card Grid** provide
"special" content formats, the **Responsive Grid Row** is the most general purpose block for adding content,
and you will probably find yourself using it the most all throughout your site. Of course, there is also an
**HTML** block for inserting raw HTML if needed.

When you are finished editing the home page, click the arrow next to the "Save Draft" button and select **Publish**.
