 * Hi all,
 * I’ve been looking for a way to have extra information boxes on the admin panel,
   so that I can format my page to show different areas of text on different parts
   of the page
 * So I might have a paragraph under the title, then a paragraph further down the
   page under some images
 * Is it possible to do this without having to root around in the code every time
   I want to change the text?

 * It depends on what you are changing or adding.
 * You can add content – and styles in the content section of your templates – including
   text and images. You may need to know some HTML and CSS to do more complicated
   layouts/styling of the content you are adding.
 * But to change the layout of the underlying template, you would need to create
   a custom template or modify an existing one (always best done in a Child Theme).
 * A more specific example, including a page link, might better answer your question.

 * What I basically want to do is make it so that a third party can add information
   to various parts of the page using the same text field
 * Not sure how useful a link would be here, I’m not actually having an issue with
   my website, I just want to be able to do something like this:
 * HEADING
    Paragraph 1
 * *Videos and widgets*
 * SUBHEADING
    Paragraph 2
 * But I’m curious to know if there’s a way to do that without adding the paragraphs
   into the template for my page, so that a third party can change it to whatever
   they want without possibly damaging the site

 * In case anyone facing the same issue finds this, I ended up putting the paragraphs
   in div tags and styling them appropriately
 * Kind of pseudo-resolved
