The first box denotes text which is displayed at the top of your page, just below the title.
It is generally used to describe what the FAQ area is for. The second "Area Content"
text box contains the lead-in sentence(s) to
the link (the link is show by the word here after your sentence) to submit
FAQs. This means that your text must use "here" as it's final
word. For example: Submit your question (blank) or Click
(blank). The word "here" will be automatically inserted
for you in the form of a link.

"YES" for the "Allow HTML" option. This allows you

text will be properly formatted.
