Widgets: Bulletin Subscribe

Authors list

You use widgets to add content (such as stories, links and upcoming events) to your bulletin or web page. They are essential design features, and each one has a different function. In this article we'll take a closer look at the Bulletin Subscribe widget. This widget allows people to subscribe to your group's bulletin.

1. To access any widget, you need to be logged into your webpage. Then, access the relevant content editor, either for your website or bulletin. 

2. Once you have opened the content you wish to edit, you can access the Bulletin Subscribe widget on the left side of the screen. It is under the Bulletin & PR widget tab. Click here to learn how to add a widget to the Website Designer Page.

3. Once in place and published, the widget provides a link for webpage visitors or bulletin readers to subscribe to the bulletin.

4. The user will be directed to a new page and prompted to complete a "Captcha" test for your security.

Each widget has a function that permits you to edit the widget properties. Most widgets have standard properties, but some have special rules. 

1. To access the widget properties, hover your mouse over the widget once it is in place. Click on the Gear icon when it appears.
