Using The Text Blocks

Text Blocks allow you to add text only content to your website. While they can be used on their own to provide information about about yourself, your services, etc; you can also add these blocks above or below other types of blocks to add more context and information to what is seen. 

 

Adding The Block

1. In your Zenfolio account, use the  Website icon on the left-hand side to open the editor.
2. Within the website editor, if you have a multi-page website, choose which page you want to edit.
3. On that page, click on  icon in the location you want to place this Block, on the right-hand side. 
4. Scroll down through the Block options and choose one of the Text Blocks that you want to add.

Editing The Block

Once you've added the Text Block to your website page, the options for the selected Block will appear on the left-hand side.

• First choose what devices you want this Block to appear on; desktop, tablet, and/or mobile.
• You can also change the Appearance of the Block; changing the alignment, adjusting location of certain lines of text, and adding dividers or padding.
• The Background of the block can also be changed so that is has a different color.
• To edit the actual text that is seen within the block, you'll click within the block itself and a text cursor will appear, allowing you to edit and add text directly within the block itself. 

On the right-side of the page, when you have the Block selected, you can control the location and layout of the Block. 

• Use the up and down arrows to move the Block.
• You can make a copy of the Block
• Change the Layout of the contact form and text.
• And the trash can icon will allow you to delete the Block. When a Block is deleted there will be a brief moment where you can recover the deleted Block, just use the "Undo Delete" button that appears. Once the undo button goes away, you can no longer recover the Block that was deleted.

Adding Emphasis and Hyperlinks to the Text

When you've added a Text Block to your website, you may want to add some emphasis to some words or information that you provide within the text. For this, you can highlight the text in question and you should see some basic formatting options appear on the left side of the Text Block.

In those formatting options you will find Bold, Italics, and Underline. With your text highlighted, just click on the option you want to add to the text. Click on the formatting option again to remove it from the text.

You can also add a hyperlink to the highlighted text by clicking on the hyper link icon. This will present you with the option of linking the text to one of the other pages in your website, or you can choose the URL option to create a link to an external webpage – have your external page link ready to paste into the provided URL field.
