The default page view shows the page within the context of the Mahara site and its theme. That means that the logo and menu bars (if you are logged in) will be on display to the viewer as well as the contents of your page. See the following screenshot for what this page view looks like. Notice the logo and menu are still on show:

These are displayed when the administrator has allowed small page headers in the admin settings. In this format, the logo and menu bars, at the top of the page, are replaced by a much slimmer header. See the following screenshot for what this page view looks like. Notice that the menu is now much smaller:

When you have small page headers allowed, you will see that the mini menu at the top can be shown by hovering over the Mahara logo on the top left. You can click on the Back button on the top right to return to the Pages section of the site.

Throughout the tutorials in this chapter, you will be working without small headers as it's the default option and more likely to be the one you experience.

Right, now you know that your page might look different depending on whether small headers have been enabled or not, let's get back to creating your page. You've already looked at adding content, but so far, that's been in a rather rigid three column layout. How about if you want a different setup, maybe four columns, or columns with different widths? That is the topic of the next section.
