Add a News Item

The News content type allows you to add articles to your website or link to articles on another site. Note: The Stories content type should be used for magazine content such as articles for Magnify.

The news form is organized into sections by three tabs: Main, Paragraphs, Related and Sidebar.

Example

  • Click in the Date textbox and set the desired date in the pop-up calendar that appears.

  • Fill out the Author Name field if a name should appear on the site.
  • Fill out the Author Email field to add contact information for the author.
