The Tip Editor

You can use tips to share testimonials, quotes, factoids or product tips with your site's visitors.

Use the tip editor to add, edit or delete tips for your site. After each change, the tip is automatically updated across the entire site to reflect the latest additions. In addition, an archive of all of your tips is maintained on a standalone tips page.

Click the "Tip Editor" link in the left-column menu of the control panel to display the tip editor menu, where all of the tips for your site are displayed. From this menu, you can create a new tip, edit an existing tip or delete a tip.

The current "live" tip(s) for your site is highlighted in the tip editor menu. These are the tips that are currently displayed in locations across the site.

Creating or editing a tip

To create a new tip, click the "Create a New Tip" link at the top of the tip editor menu. To edit an existing tip, click the title of the tip you would like to edit from the menu. Clicking either of these links brings up the tip edit page (blank for new tips and pre-filled for existing tips).

The tip edit page is simple and straight-forward with just a handful of options:

• Make this tip the one that's currently displayed. Checking this box ensures that the edited tip will be the one shown to your site's visitors and will appear at the top of the tip archive page on your live site. (This field is displayed only when you are editing an existing tip; when you create a new tip, it is automatically selected as the current tip to display.)
• Headline. The heading displayed above the tip.
• Tip text. The tip text is the main content of your tip. Type your text, and click the "Save" button to save your tip and return to the tip menu.
