The News/Blog module allows you to highlight news, articles, blog entries or press releases on a predetermined ‘News’ page on your site. The module layout consists of article summaries on a single page and allows users to click through to read the full article.
The module will only display articles in the present month and will automatically archive past news by month. Archived articles can be accessed from the Archive Menu at the bottom of the page.
Please note that site visitors will not have ability to post comments on the articles unless the Disqus Commenting upgrade was purchased for the news/blog module. Please contact us for more information on all available news/blog upgrades.
Please review the tutorial video below for an overview of adding and editing articles via the News/Blog module.
Tips, Tricks, and Helpful Hints:
- Always add a short paragraph within the teaser section for every article post. It is usually suggested to simply include the first few sentences of the article itself or otherwise draft a short custom summary.
- Never input a full article’s text within the teaser section of news/blog posts.
- Include teaser images (JPEG, GIF, PNG) for article posts when possible.
- ePageCity suggests cropping all teaser images to the same proportions for formatting consistency across posts.
- Images can be cropped using image editing software such as adobe photoshop.
- Teaser images should only be added to posts in which a short summary paragraph has been included for.
