Step-by-step instructions

1. Choose “Text with Link” in the add custom blocks menu.
2. Title: This is an administrative title that will be used to identify the block and not displayed on the website. 
3. Header: The is an optional field to display a header above the body text. 
   • Header will be set as an H2 by default but you have the option to change it. Note: Only use H1 if this is being used as a header/title for the page. H2 for any section header. H3 to break up content within the section. Never mix and match header sizes, this will confuse screen readers and make the site less accessible.
   • You will have a choice of heading colours depending on the choice of background colour selected. 
4. Body: This is an optional field to display a chunk of text using a WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) text editor where you can type or copy paste text into. If you copy paste make sure you always clean the formatting after you paste. Do this by highlighting the text and clicking on the clear formatting icon (T_x) on the top ribbon.  This will remove any unnecessary formatting copied over from a word doc or pdf file.
5. Link: This an optional field to add a link. 
   • For internal links: start typing the name of the page or media item (pdf) in the URL field and select the page you want to link to.
   • For external link: copy paste the external link.
   • Type in the link description into the link text field.
   • For external links or pdf files: click on attributes and select new window for the target.
6. Click on "Update" to save the block.
