Complete page layout

Create Homepage Sidebar in Widget area

To Fix: Align the dot lines

To Fix: Display Title "as is" without truncating or limiting its length

To Fix: Push Sidebar down below when Tablet is on Portrait screen mode

To Fix: load small size image to display for Alumni Tales

The loaded image for TCM Spotlights is acceptaable.

But the loaded image for Alumni Tales is not acceptable. It loads the full size image and resize to a smaller one. That’s a waste to web server resource.

Image for Alumni Tales now loaded with 400px size
