Arran Price	Monday 01 August 2005 4:56:36 pm Hi, I would like to sense check as to when you should use sections vs using subtrees. This is in regards to general site setup and management. If you can determine a parent node, then whats the point of sections? If you could see where a subtree is (rather than a number) would you need sections at all? what rules do people go by in their use? Arran
