Create Blank Template Page (Advanced)

Create the blank template page using a blank version of an existing editorial page (single story or article page). It's important to remove any ad content placed on the page by default to eliminate any possibility of conflicts. You should keep all organic elements that ensure the page renders properly and maintains the look and feel of the rest of your site content.
