As the Network Creator, you have full control over the appearance of your Homepage. You can arrange the content sections in any order you\u2019d like, choose how many items of each type of content appear, and set its privacy. You can also easily change the layout for this page and add new sections to showcase your content.<\/p>\n

To set your Homepage, head to your Dashboard by clicking on the settings (‘hammer and wrench’) icon in the upper left hand corner of your network. Then, select the\u00a0Sites & Pages tab to start customizing!

First, you\u2019ll want to create a new page by clicking on the \u201c+ Add a Page\u201d button. You\u2019ll want to choose the \u201cCustom\u201d option for this Page type so you can start editing its layout and adding new sections.\u00a0Then, select the radio button next to the \u2018home\u2019 icon to set this new page as your Homepage.<\/p>\n

You can also control who can view your network\u2019s Homepage. For example, choosing a \u2018member\u2019s only\u2019 privacy will make your network\u2019s Homepage appear private to non-members and require visitors to sign up or sign in to view it.<\/p>\n

The next step is to choose a layout for your homepage. You can choose from a single column, two column or three column display in various widths. Once you decide on a layout, you can start adding content sections that you\u2019d like to appear on your homepage. To start adding sections, click on the \u2018Add Content\u2019 button. When choosing a content type, you\u2019ll have the capacity to choose from any existing content pages and features you\u2019ve already added to your network\u2019s main navigation.<\/p>\n

You can display specific Blog pages, Latest Activity, Photo Albums or even add a custom HTML page. The possibilities are endless, so get creative and show off all your best content to grab your member\u2019s attention!<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve decided on what content will make an appearance on your Homepage, you\u2019ll want to configure how that content will display. To rearrange the layout of this page, grab the content section modules in the layout area and start dragging them around from column to column or in between the sections.<\/p>\n

Each content section module on the Homepage is a little different. For many, such as the Activity Feed, you can control how much content is previewed as an excerpt. If you want people to click through, Titles Only might be your choice. If you want people to get a sneak peak, choose ‘Detail’ and decide how many characters you\u2019d like people to see. You may also be able to choose which types of content appear: Recently Added, Featured, Latest Activity or items from a specific content category.\u00a0 You can also adjust your Activity Feed Settings<\/a> to control what gets displayed. These details are very easy to change, and we definitely recommend trying it all out!<\/p>\n
