Blurbs
What are blurbs and what can I use them for?
Blurbs are exactly what it sounds like–it’s a chunk of content that doesn’t necessarily need the full attention of a dedicated page of information.
What can you do with blurbs?
Here are some of the most common uses for blurbs on the Emory & Henry website:
- Contact information that’s located in the sidebar
- Creating simple FAQs
- Random information that needs to be displayed
- “Research Abstracts” on departmental pages
Blurbs are also useful when you have multiple policies to add to your page.
Research Abstracts
Every departmental page has the ability to add a custom “Research Abstract” blurb displayed with the title “Student Research” on their main landing pages. It’s is a great way to display a quick snippet of information about the work our students are doing!
Generally, this widget is automatically displayed as the default in the departmental page template and will randomly display if you have more than one added.
You can see an example of how this blurb is displayed on the page below.
Example:
World of Work/Hand Craft this Major Blurbs
Each departmental page has the ability to display information as it regards to both the World of Work and Handcraft this Major.
This widget is automatically displayed on the “Why at E&H” pages of the departmental sites if the department has one. It’s a fantastic way to add in the information that makes an E&H experience stand out.
