- Title - replace "Meet Drea" with your own title
- Text - add your text to the "Caption" field
- Image - check "Upload image from computer" below Select image by: and upload an image
Social Icons
Go to Layout > scroll down to "Sidebar Column" > open the "Social Icons" widget. Replace LINK with the links to your social media accounts. Add https:// otherwise the links will be broken.
- Correct link: https://instagram.com/studiosaroya
- Incorrect link: instagram.com/studiosaroya

Popular Posts
The popular posts widget ("Most Loved") is already configured to display the most popular posts (posts with the most views) from the last 30 days. If you want to change that to 7 days, all time or last year, go to Layout > scroll down to "Sidebar Column" > open the "Most Loved" widget.
Search Form
The search form is already added, but here's the HTML if you need it:
<form action="/search" class="search-form" method="get">
<input class="search-input" name="q" placeholder="" type='text' value=""/>
<input class="search-submit" type="submit" value="Search"/>
</form>Featured Post
To select a featured post, go to Layout > scroll down to "Sidebar Column" > open the "Favorite" widget > select one of your posts.
Categories (Labels)
If you want to display specific labels in the "Categories" widget, go to Layout > scroll down to "Sidebar Column" > open the "Categories" widget > check "Selected Labels" > uncheck the labels you don't want to display in the widget.
Keep in mind that labels will only appear in the widget if they have been used in at least one published post.
