They&#8217;re a graphic design firm, and their production manager mocked up a few screens for me to follow. It looks amazing!

		<description><![CDATA[Hey y&#8217;all. As I mentioned in my July 18 post about conditional checkmarks, there are multiple ways of having things appear on the layout conditionally. We&#8217;ll look at one that is commonly referred to as the &#8220;hidden portal trick&#8221;.
Let&#8217;s get started.
