Adding a Text Module

1. Once the blog editor has loaded you will be given the option to add different content modules to the page. Click and drag the “Text” content module into the page, you will notice a blue highlighted box appear on the page wherever it is possible to add the module.

 

Editing A Text Module 

1. Once a text module has been added to a page, you will have the ability to edit the text and its formatting. This can be done by hovering your mouse cursor over the text module and clicking the edit button, the edit button appears as a pencil icon in the top right of the section.

2. Once the edit button has been clicked an edit window will appear, you can see that this is a simple text editor, much like you're used to using in office environments. You can either type out the text you wish to display in this text module or copy and paste it from another source.

3. Once you have added your text, there are numerous styling options you can use to tweak the text module’s appearance, these are located in the “Desktop” and "Mobile" tabs found at the top of the edit window. You can find an overview of the primary settings below:

  • Text Colour: Allows you to change the colour of the text, this does not apply to hyperlinked text.

  • Font Family: This will allow you to change the font type from the default font of your site.

  • Font size: Allows you to increase or decrease the size of the text from the default, Google recommends not to display fonts in any size under 16px.

  • Line Height: This allows you to choose the size of the space between lines of text.

  • Text Align: This allows you to choose the general alignment of the text.

  • Word Break: This property sets whether line breaks appear wherever the text would otherwise overflow its content box.

  • Border: Allows you to apply and style a border to sit around your text.

  • Padding: This allows you to add space around your text and other content modules in the section.

  • Margin: Allows you to add space around your heading text and other content modules in the section.

  • Background: Allows you to set chose if the background is hidden or not hidden.

  • Background Colour: This allows you to set a background colour to appear behind the text.

4. Once you have added your text and styled it to your liking click the “Save” button, this will save the module and close the edit window.

5. Once you are happy with your page, click the “Save" button found at the bottom of the side menu, this will apply all of your changes to the page.

 

Note: Always remember to follow the final point and save the page itself, or the hard work you have done will not be applied.
