# Build a help or resource center

*Website Content & Blog*

A resource center is a single page that lists all your guides, help articles, or resources as browsable cards, grouped so visitors can find what they need fast. You build it with the **Entry list** block, which pulls entries straight from a CMS collection and lays them out on the page. This article assumes you already have a collection and some entries in place — if not, start with [CMS collections overview](/cms-collections-overview) and [Manage CMS entries](/manage-cms-entries).

Only community **owners** and **admins** can edit the website, and this all happens inside the orange platform panel's full-screen editor.

## Add the Entry list block

1. Open the page where you want your resource center in the website **Editor**.
2. In the left icon rail, open **Add** and drop in an **Entry list** block where you want the cards to appear.
3. With the block selected, open the right inspector to set it up.

## Point the block at a collection

1. In the inspector, set **Template** to the collection you want to show — for example your Guides, Help, or Resources collection.
   The block will now pull its cards from that collection's entries.
2. Decide how much to show:
   - To show one topic only, choose a single **Category**. The block lists only entries in that category.
   - To build a full pillar page, leave **Category** empty and turn on **Group by category**. Every category becomes its own titled band, with its entries as cards underneath — a clean, browsable index of everything.

## Style the cards

Use the remaining inspector settings to shape how the list looks:

1. Pick a card style:
   - **Text** — compact cards, best for help articles and quick guides.
   - **Blog** — larger cards with an image and date, best for a magazine-style resource feed.
2. Set the **Sort** order — **A-Z** for a stable reference index, or **Newest** to surface fresh content first.
3. Set a **Limit** if you want to cap how many cards appear.
4. Set the card **link label** — the text on each card that takes visitors to the full entry (for example "Read guide" or "Learn more").

## Build the article pages

The Entry list gets visitors to your content — the **Article** block presents each piece once they arrive. Add an **Article** block to the page template your entries render through, and it does two helpful things automatically:

- It builds an **On this page** table of contents from the `##` headings in the entry, so long guides are easy to scan.
- It links to sibling articles in the same category, so readers can move from one guide to the next without going back.

To let visitors deep-link to a specific section, give that section an **Anchor id**. The section then has its own shareable link you can point people to directly.

## Troubleshooting

### My cards aren't showing up
Confirm the **Template** in the Entry list inspector points at the right collection, and that the collection actually has published entries. An empty or wrong collection shows no cards. See [Manage CMS entries](/manage-cms-entries).

### Every entry is in one big list instead of grouped
To get titled bands per topic, leave **Category** empty and turn on **Group by category**. If you've selected a single **Category** instead, the block only shows that one topic as a flat list.

### The table of contents is empty
The **On this page** list is built from the `##` headings inside each entry. If an article has no `##` section headings, there's nothing to list — add headings to structure the article.
