Cachet Maker Page Template

After you add an active link for new cachet maker or activate the link for an existing cachet maker, the link will appear in red. To create the cachet maker page, click on the link and the editor will appear. To make the process easier and maintain consistency, copy and paste the following template (all the text inside the box just below with the border made out of blue dashes) into the editor and fill in the first cover entry.
