Dear Web Publishers,

For those who have been asking for the ability to put news on your site or have announcements on the homepage sidebar, well it’s finally here. On 4/20 we rolled out “Posts” – they’re servings of content that are listed in reverse chronological order on your site from newest to oldest. Posts are intended to be used for short lived pieces of content, and because of this they will always have a date associated with them.

Posts also come with Categories and Tags which allow you to group related topics and create associations between posts. Categories provide a hierarchical association much like folders on your computer while tags are words or phrases that are important to the post. For more information read this help article.

In the upcoming weeks we will be holding a number of training sessions to explain how to use the new Posts functionality, but if you would like to get a head start and try creating some posts on your own, check out our newly added Posts section in the FAQ and then contact the Webteam to get your posts page created and start posting.

Thanks,
HSPH Webteam
