How do I create a table within the content?
The WYSIWYG editor has a full featured table editing control screen.  It is point and click.
 
How do I change the fonts, colors, borders, etc. within the content?
All look and feel elements of a SimpleContent powered website are controlled by a central style sheet
file contained in /public/css. We recommend that only users with at least a general knowledge of
HTML and style sheets edit the CSS file. Any changes made to the style sheet will have a global
effect on all elements in the website, so any changes should be made cautiously.
 
You may change elements on a specific page by using the "View Source" or "html code" toggle feature at the bottom of the WYSIWYG. By editing the HTML source, you may add style elements and other attributes that will
override the global CSS. Again, we urge caution in making changes to the format of any page.
Consistency in the look and feel of a website is a very important part of projecting a professional
image.
