Placing the "Connect With Us" Block on a Page

Placing the Connect With Us in basic pages is the same process as placing any block.

We recommend placing news listing blocks on your Home Page.

  3. In the area you want the block to appear, click Add Block
  4. The Connect With Us block should appear on the list of available blocks to be placed
    • TIP Be mindful of the space you wish to use. The Connect With Us block generally works well in either main or side area.
  5. OPTIONAL Configure the block
    • With your block placed, click the contextual edit button (Pencil Icon) for the block and select configure.
    • The only option for this block is to toggle the title display
    • Click Update
