When items or products are added to an update, they should be added into 2 "Parent Categories". 1 category from this menu (menu middle) & 1 from the "Continent Menu" (menu footer). Instructions for this can be found on the "Catergory Form" beside that option. At the end of the week, unsold items should be removed from the "New Items List" so that new items can be added. This is done by clicking on the highlighted category on the "Category Form" so that it is no longer highlighted. Items should be left in the "Continent Menu".

This is where the title of the page is found. The title is always the same as the link that was pressed to get there, so as not to confuse your visitors.
