    1717So, looking at the home page screenshot to the right, you can see these things going on: 
    1818 
    19 '''Admin Menu''' - an administrative tool provided by a Module. 
    20 '''Logo''' & '''Main Menu''' - these are more or less "hard-coded" into the theme, meaning you'd need to edit the PHP, HTML and CSS code of the theme to change the way they look and are laid out. 
    21 '''Blocks''' - Drupal's key tool for adding "extras" to the margins. 
    22 '''Views''' - the Views module allows us to create custom queries which do things like "display the most recent 10 News Articles". The Views module can provide "Page Views", which have a URL and take up the entire main content area, or "Block Views" which provide Blocks.   
    23 '''Panel''' - in the pink box - a special area which can be subdivided into rows and columns, each one of which can contain small bits content, Blocks and Views. 
    24 '''Footer''' - as with the logo and main menu, these are "hard-coded" into the theme.
