- a memory unit for storing a computer program for laying out components displayed on a web page; and
a processor coupled to said memory unit, wherein said processor, responsive to said computer program, comprises;
circuitry for displaying a list of contents stored in the storage device on the display device;
circuitry for displaying a display object, which can be rearranged at any position on the display device in response to an input from the input device and which is associated with boundary information of a region included in the display object, on the display device;
circuitry for selecting at least one content in the list of contents in response to an input from the input device;
circuitry for retrieving the selected content from the storage device; and
circuitry for displaying an image corresponding to the retrieved content according to the boundary information so that the image is displayed within the region.

Abstract
To edit a web page so that various contents can be displayed, while ensuring fine uniformity of the whole web page, a mount (board art) is displayed within the web page so that content, such as an image or a text, can be pasted in the mount. When pasting the content in the mount, the content is compressed or extended so as to fit in a predetermined region disposed within the mount regardless of a data amount of the content. By arranging the mount within the page, fine conformity of the whole page is achieved by proximity, alignment, and repetition of a plurality of mounts.
