Adding a Content Block Summary


Adding a Content Block Summary

A summary provides a short description of a content block to supplement the title when displaying a list of content blocks on a Web page. When you create or edit a content block, you can create a summary. Then, your Web site developer can create Web pages that contain just the summaries to attract readers to the full story.

A good example is a news Web site. A page on that site could list the titles of the top stories followed by a summary of each (illustrated below).
