Home Page

To edit the Home Page, go to Pages > Homepage

Common Blocks

To find any of these items quickly, use the Search bar at the top of the Add Blocks area.

List Blocks

Under the heading Dynamic Components, you will find all the list blocks that will display posts from your different post types. Add one of the list blocks to any page, select it and then configure it using the right panel. You can choose, among other things, how many items to show, how to sort the list and / or which categories of posts to show.

Cards

Cards allow you to organize content on a page in a visually pleasing way. Select the Card or Card Grid, a grid of 3 across a page, block to use cards. You can style the cards for your needs by using the classes in the Style Guide. NOTE: Card Images are styled to fill the whole space – images will grow and shrink to fit the space.

Interstitials

Interstitials allow you to add an image or video with text and a call to action as an overlay. Choose Interstitial from the blocks. Add an image or video from the right panel of the admin area and then place text blocks and / or calls to action atop the image or video. Interstitials on the homepage will be wider than interior layout spaces.

Interior Layout

Choosing the Interior Layout block allows you to have an main content area in the left column of your page and an area for In This Section and for any Aside content you want on the right. On mobile, the columns collapse to one column and the In This Section block becomes a toggle.

Spacer

The Spacer block allows you to add space between sections on your page. Add the spacer block to your page and then select the size of the space in the right panel. The default is 100px but you may want to establish rules for your site, for consistency.

Share Buttons

The Share Buttons block adds icons to share the page on social media, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn or to mail the page to someone.

Custom HTML

If you just need to add HTML to your page without an already formatted block, use the Custom HTML block. It accepts any HTML markup.

Accordion

The Accordion block gives you an expandable and contractable area for content. For each one, there is a label with an arrow and a content area.
