This video will show you how to customize your content of your homepage.<\/p>\n<p>If you go to the Homepage Editor screen and expand the \u201cContent\u201d tab, you will see an \u201cAdd Item\u201d button, which allows you to add different types of content to the homepage. Each of these items can be added once.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s add a \u201cText Block\u201d. Here, you can add a \u201cText Heading\u201d, which will be the title of the text. And this \u201cText Area\u201d field is for the body text. You will see some formatting functions similar to a post\u2019s editor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuick Links\u201d is also a very commonly used type of content, so let\u2019s add one. You can have 3 or 4 quick links on your Homepage. Here, you can edit the heading for the Quick Links block, but this is optional. The tabs below allow you to customize your quick link cards. You can add a title and an excerpt to introduce what the quick link is about. Then, you link the card to a page or content on your site or an external site. Finally, add a thumbnail to your card by uploading your own image or using a preset thumbnail.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, let\u2019s add some content listing. You can list News, Events, Videos, People and FAQs. The steps for all these listings are fairly similar, so I will demonstrate with a News Listing in this tutorial.<\/p>\n<p>Again, I can edit the listing heading. If I don\u2019t make any edit to this, \u201cNews\u201d will be used by default. Then, I can set the number of news items being displayed, and which categories of item I want to display. I also have the option to add a \u201cLoad More\u201d button.<\/p>\n<p>So, I have added some information to my Homepage. Now, I\u2019m going to click \u201cUpdate\u201d, and see my page on the front end!<\/p>\n<p><\/p><\/dd><dl><\/div>\n<h2>Try It Out!<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have learned about the types of content you can add to the Homepage, time to try it out!<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Add some text to the Homepage<\/li>\n<li>Add a Quick Links block<\/li>\n<li>Add a content listing (News, Events, Videos, People or FAQ)<\/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\/basic-training\/basic-training-conclusion\/\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Next: Conclusion<\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step-by-Step Homepage Text Expand the Homepage Content tab.
