Main menu block<br />

The Main menu block is available only on the site's Front Page. Anything that can<br />

be added to a course can be added to this block, as you can see from the pull-down<br />

menus labeled Add a resource and Add an activity.<br />

In my example site, I use the Main menu to convey information about the site and<br />

how to use the site. I want visitors to be able to easily get instructions for enroling<br />

and using courses. Perhaps I should change the name of this block to How to Use<br />

this Site. I can do that by looking in the moodle.php file under the language folder,<br />

for this line:<br />

$string['mainmenu'] = 'Main menu';<br />

Change Main menu to whatever you want to be displayed for the name of the menu.<br />

Messages block<br />

The Messages block provides a shortcut to <strong>Moodle</strong>'s Messages center. It displays<br />

the latest messages received. This is a shortcut to the same page you would reach by<br />

selecting Settings | My profile | Messages.<br />
