  5. Publish the post.

Including Internal Posts

  1. Go to the post you want to include.
  2. On the right hand menu go to tags and add ‘press’ into the tags.
  3. Update the post.

Adding the block to a page

  1. Create a new page.
  2. If you want the feed to appear on a specific url then use the standard parent page feature on the right hand menu.
  3. Add the new news block page to the page by either typing /news or click on add block and then select the news block.
  4. You can adjust the block settings to change the posts per page and the heading colour.
