Custom Content Types

Screen Shot 2015-07-29 at 14.33.48

This module will let you add two different types of content, portfolio projects and testimonials. These are a bit like pages as they stand outside the chronological flow of post. But they can also be organised with Types and tags. Finally they can be displayed on a page via a shortcode.

Activate Jetpack plugin, if not already activated Dashboard->Plugins

Activate the ‘Custom Content Types’ Module- Dashboard->Jetpack-> Settings

Enable Portfolio Projects and/or Testimonials in Dashboard-> Settings -Writing.

Set up a page to display the projects.

You add a project in the same way as a post or a page. Featured Images are important if you are going to display al grid of your projects using the shortcode.

Here is a an example of using the shortcode.

Site Icon

Site Icon lets you create an icon for your site. This icon will be used as favicon, mobile icon, and Tile on Windows 8 computers.

Site Icons are now added to Glow Blogs through the Customiser in the Site Identity section.

Activate Jetpack plugin, if not already activated Dashboard->Plugins

Activate the Sharing Module- Dashboard->Jetpack-> Sharing

To add a new icon to your site, SettingsGeneral → Site Icon, and upload an icon.
