This allows you to add a news story to your site, formatted similarly to those at Nebraska Today. You can add a lead photo, author name, article text, related links, and article contact information. Once entered, these news items are aggregated in a news feed that you can place into any page on your site.
To add a latest news section to a page:
- Go to the "Layout" tab of the builder page that you wish to add them to
- Go to the area of the page where you want the news feed, click "+Add Section" and choose a single column layout
- Click the "Add Component" button, and then choose "More..."
- One the sidebar, choose "Aggregated Content -> News Aggregation" to select how many news items you want to display (4, 8, 12, or 16) and what you want your news section to be titled ("Latest News" is typical). Click "Add Block" and any news items you've added to the site will display in your new section.
