Generally, when you plug-in a WebCaster page into your existing web site, you turn off all sections of the web site except the main content area.
Updated features:
- On the themes page, you can toggle between plug-in mode and regular mode so that you can see this effect on your websites.
- The layout page gives you more options to customize the different regions of a web page, so that it is easier for you to match your WebCaster to your existing site's look and feel.
- In addition, there's a plug-in page that lists out all the WebCaster page URLs so that it is easier for you to copy and paste the URLs into your existing web site's pages.
