Integrating social media on your Eden website

Nowadays, you'll be hard pressed to find a business that does not take advantage of social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.  These outlets give you the unique ability to reach out to your customers, friends, and other businesses online.  They help spread the word and generate buzz regarding recent improvements to your business, changes to your organization, and important news and announcements.

In a recent blog post via Brooks Bell Interactive, they discuss the proper way to integrate social media with your website.

You can use Preation's Eden Platform to easily connect your website to your numerous social media outlets and here's how:

1. Determine which icon's you are using for the various social media outlets and save them as images (jpg is best) within your Eden file module.

2. Edit the page(s) that you would like to add them to from the Pages module.

3. Once in the on-page editing interface, add a content element to the zone of your choice.

4. Click the "insert/edit image" button (looks like a tree)in the rich text editor.

5. Select the icon you would like to add to the page from the files module popup window.

6. Once the icon has been added to the page, click on it once to select it.

7. Click the "insert/edit link" button (looks like a chain link).

8. Click the "manual link" tab in the insert/edit link popup window.

9. Paste in the respective URL of the social media outlet icon you're adding in the "link URL" field.

10. Click the "insert" button in the popup window.
