I am trying to create more sections in my UITableView and I cannot seem to figure it out. I am looking to move the “View full website” and “Video” links into their own section and change the height of those cells to 75. I can create a new cell, but I cannot figure out how to position it properly.
typedef enum { SectionHeader, SectionDetail } Sections;
typedef enum { SectionHeaderTitle, SectionHeaderDate, SectionHeaderURL, SectionHeaderEnclosure } HeaderRows;
typedef enum { SectionDetailSummary } DetailRows;
@implementation MediaDetailTableViewController
@synthesize item, dateString, summaryString, teachings;

Thank you for all your help!
You should start by changing the appropriate methods in the
UITableView‘s data source.From your code, you would need to change it to something like this:
