Going Live Checklist

Change the links and text in the footer synced block
Add pretty links for your pages, projects, and blog posts using Super’s pretty URL settings (Instructional video)

Adding a new post

  1. Adding a new post is easy, just head to the Post database at the bottom of the homepage inside the Control Panel toggle and click 'New', be sure to use the template provided to quickly add the default date and title block for posts.
  2. Make sure to add the post heading, subheading and button text in the properties on the page. This is important for formatting, and it allows you to add bold, italic and underlined text.
  3. Make sure not to edit the order of the properties on the page
  4. If you don't want the post to appear on your site, don't check the 'Published' box.
  5. If you want to feature a post at the top on the homepage, check the 'Featured' box. (Only one post can be featured so make sure to uncheck any other posts first)
