• Types of Pages - Content Classes
• Foundation content classes a house
• Shell of a page which includes many components
  meta-data, position in the navigation, and as
  many bodies of content as you want to add to it
• Body content classes a room
• A section of content just text (i.e., welcome
  paragraph), a table, or paragraphs of text with
  lists and contextual links. You can have 1 body
  on a page or multiple bodies. Why would it be
  good to use both a single and a series?
