-====== Feeds ======+====== Page structure ======
  
-Feed navigation is done through the left panel, the current feed is presented on center and posting is possible on the right panel. Additional navigational links can be added as the user desires.+The page is formed by three regions, each one containing their own components/widgets. Plugins may be added through events in a myriad of specific locales within these regions. If the plugin requires it's own widget to be presented, the context and importance need to be considered when choosing the desired locale.
  
-Bear in mind that in the following images, the user profile section colours are user defined through the ProfileColour plugin.+The standard page grid regions are:  
 +  * left panel 
 +  * active page 
 +  * right panel   
 + 
 +Assuming a LTR layout, the left panel is the first area our eyes are drawn upon, and therefore it provides profile information and the main navigation tab. Placement within this region should only be considered if the context allows and/or is of high importance within the given page. 
 + 
 +The active page region, as the name implies, is used by the current route page template. Nonetheless, it is here that most context specific placement opportunities will take place. If a feed is currently active, the respective Note widgets are placed, which provide various ways to append plugin widgets, for example. 
 + 
 +Finally, the right panel serves as an area for any plugin that isn't highly specific on context/use or that isn't primordial to the user experience basic functionality.
