Otherheaders and Edge Blocks:

Examples:
Adding Right and Left Edges:
You are adding a Right Edge to display Ads. Flex field name is redge. Flex field value is 100. This means 100 pixels for the width of the Right Edge. A Left Edge would be ledge with whatever width you want for that Edge. Once you have defined an Edge, you can then ad Edge Block Elements to display on the page iteself.
Adding System and Custom Edge Elements:
Once you have defined your Edge, you can then add Elements to that Edge. Elements can be System Created, like a Row of Vertical Text Ads, or a Custom Edge Element you create in Edge Blocks. Example: you are adding Elements to display on the Left Edge of your Topic Page. Use the flex field forms to create the place for those Elements. Field name is ledge. Field value is the system number for a Vertical Text Ad Block, or a group of elements. Seperate each element by a colon mark (:) Example: C004:C015:C016:C007:A241

Common seo elements are instructions to the Search Engine Bots, content instructions, even search engine verification codes. The flex field name will always be otherheaders and a unique number. Examples: otherheaders1, otherheaders2, otherheaders3, etc.
