- If you actually show content in the primary content widget, you can get dinged for cloaking via search engines. If there is no content to show except the section title, I doubt you'll have much to worry about about.
- It renders part of a layout unusable across your site. You cannot use this method if you use the Secondary Footer within layouts.
- You cannot edit the section while it is hidden.

Moving the Primary Content Widget
- Create a new grid or edit an existing one. Choose whatever options you have along with using a Secondary Footer (the important part).

Code:#ft { display:none; }
