Including Internal Posts

- On the right hand menu go to tags and add ‘press’ into the tags.
- Update the post.
Adding the block to a page
- Create a new page.
- If you want the feed to appear on a specific url then use the standard parent page feature on the right hand menu.
- Add the new news block page to the page by either typing /news or click on add block and then select the news block.
- You can adjust the block settings to change the posts per page and the heading colour.
- Finally publish the page.
