I've searched for this for quite a while with no luck, so hoping some of you nice ladies and gents here may have some advice or solutions.
I'm going to be setting up a multi-site for an organization with multiple chapters, part of the theme I've built has 3 large images and associated text on the home page that will link to specific pages.
The page categories will be the same across all instances, but the pictures and respective text can change across each instance.
I was thinking an easy way to set this up would be to create the theme with default images and text and then allow them to change the images / text directly from the dashboard. I'm trying to keep things as user-friendly as possible as the sites will be maintained by users who will mostly be new to wordpress.
So my big question is how exactly does one go about setting up special areas on the dashboard that allows for control of specific content.
Also I was thinking of setting up a support block on the dashboard as well, so along the same lines, how does one approach adding content and control control capabilities.
