+## <a href="#webpage-element-import"></a>Webpage element import
+
+There are two methods of importing webpage elements: uploading a zip file or 
+referencing a local cloud files folder. Both methods require that the webpage 
+elements are specified using a specific folder structure. The import tool makes 
+it possible to import all the elements necessary to construct an entire website
+or set of websites. The goal is to accommodate external development of webpages 
+as well as tools to simplify and automate deployment on a hub.
+
+### Folder structure
+Element definitions must be stored in the repo root under folders called 
+
+	/pages/
+	/blocks/
+	/layouts/
+
+
+Each element of these types must be defined in an individual subfolder using two files: one JSON-formatted file for the metadata and one plain text file for the element content.
+
+### Page elements
+Page element metadata is specified in a JSON-formatted file called `page.json` with the following properties:
+
+ * title
+ * pagelink
+ * mimetype
+ * layout
+ * contentfile
+
+**Example** 
+
+Files: 
+	
+	/pages/my-page/page.json
+	/pages/my-page/my-page.bbcode
+	
+Content of `page.json`:
+	
+	{
+		"title": "My Page",
+		"pagelink": "mypage",
+		"mimetype": "text/bbcode",
+		"layout": "my-layout",
+		"contentfile": "my-page.bbcode"
+	}
+	
+
+### Layout elements
+Layout element metadata is specified in a JSON-formatted file called `layout.json` with the following properties:
+
+ * name
+ * description
+ * contentfile
+
+**Example** 
+
+Files:
+
+	/layouts/my-layout/layout.json
+	/layouts/my-layout/my-layout.bbcode
+	
+Content of `layout.json`:
+	
+	{
+		"name": "my-layout",
+		"description": "Layout for my project page",
+		"contentfile": "my-layout.bbcode"
+	}
+
+
+### Block elements
+Block element metadata is specified in a JSON-formatted file called `block.json` with the following properties:
+
+ * name
+ * title
+ * mimetype
+ * contentfile
+
+**Example** 
+
+Files:
+	
+	/blocks/my-block/block.json
+	/blocks/my-block/my-block.html
+
+Content of `block.json`:	
+
+	
+	{
+		"name": "my-block",
+		"title": "",
+		"mimetype": "text/html",
+		"contentfile": "my-block.html"
+	}

 If you are the admin of a site, you can specify a channel whose webpages we will use at key points around the site.  Presently, the only place this is implemented is the home page.  If you specify the channel "admin" and then the channel called "admin" creates a webpage called "home", we will display it's content on your websites home page.  We expect this functionality to be extended to other areas in future.
