basic page

This will enable the new user to log in and make changes to their own personnel Basic pages are used for basic display information for the end user. For example, a page about the history of the department, a page detailing majors or degrees, or a page about study abroad programs are considered basic pages. A basic page is simply a title, with some text in the body, and an optional side bar. Images can be embedded within the body of the page.
