Editing modules
Click 'Edit' to add or delete content within a module or even change the title of the module.

Moving modules
If you want your news module to the left of the page instead of to the right, simply place the cursor on its title bar. When the cursor changes shape, 'drag' the module anywhere you want by holding down your mouse button. Once you have positioned the module where you want, release the mouse button and the module will 'snap' into place. It's that easy.
