In this video we will introduce you to posts.<\/p>\n<p>You have probably seen posts in the form of blog entries or news items. Using post is the most effective method for sharing up-to-date information. Posts are usually grouped together by categories.<\/p>\n<p>Here is an example of a post listing, and when you click on each of these items, you will be taken to a post.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let\u2019s add a new post. Here you can add a title and some content. You can also give your post a thumbnail by selecting from the \u201cPost Thumbnail Icon\u201d drop down list or uploading your own image.<\/p>\n<p>It is optional but recommended that you add your post to a category. And don\u2019t forget to save or publish your post.<\/p>\n<p>To list posts onto a page, go to your page and click \u201cAdd Post Element\u201d, then select \u201cList News\u201d. From here, you can select which category of posts to pull into the page. If no category is selected, all posts will be added. You can also set the number of item limit, add a \u201cLoad More\u201d button, and toggle the thumbnail on or off. Then, click \u201cInsert Element\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Here is how your news listing looks on the front end.<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/dd><dl><\/div>\n<h2>Try It Out!<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have learned how to work with posts, time to try it out!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Add a new post with a title, some content, and a thumbnail.<\/li>\n<li>Add your post to a category.<\/li>\n<li>Publish your post.<\/li>\n<li>List your new post on a page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<div class=\"u-center-text\">\n\t<p>\n\t\t<a class=\"button__red button__red--solid\" href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/cms-help\/people-post\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Next: People<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Posts have likely been introduced to you in the form of blog entries or news items.
