Note: 2 Welcome and User Sign up for Guests blocks should be configured in the same block area (column). We recommend putting these blocks in Block Area 2.
1. Example on Block Area 1 or Block Area 3
You can put some custom blocks such as the site-related statistic in these block areas. In this example, we opt to Featured Members block, so visitors can see who are active on your community.

The new block will show up in the Block list of Homepage (core.index-visitor).
2. Example of Block Area 2
The block area 2 should be used for the main content of the Landing page since it will get more focus on visitors. By default, you can use Welcome and User Sign up for Guests in this block area. The Welcome block can show the main photos, and User Sign up for Guests block is to display the Registration form.
- In 1-column or 2-column layout, these blocks will be displayed in a horizontal way, photo displays next to the Registration form.
- In the 3-column layout, block area 2 displays 2 these blocks into vertical way, one on top another.
