FAQ lists are a great way to break up text within a page to make it more manageable for the reader. Click on the Add Content button and choose FAQs. Click Add New to start your FAQ list. Enter a title and use the free form description field for all of the information related to that title. That information can include descriptions or simply a link off to a page on the site that can provide the user with all of the information they need, which will avoid duplication of content on the site.

Description information would go here. Use the text editor to style the content as needed. You can include links with the text to direct people elsewhere on the site.

If you have a list of items that you want to link, a link list is a far better alternative than simply writing the list out and linking within the text. Add the Link widget, click the Add New button. The Title field is where you place the word that you to display to represent your link, then enter the link in the URL field. A description field is optional. As shown below, bulleted and numbered lists are supported here as well as links within the text. Save.
If you're linking to a page within the site, ONLY link to the part of the URL that comes after the .com. The system will recognize this as an internal link and automatically add the domain. This is particularly important during the soft launch period when the site you're working on is on the production.carbonhouse URL. Once you go live, your domain will go back to your current domain. If you have linked to the production URL, it won't break, but it will affect your SEO and can confuse users.
For external links, be sure to include the WHOLE link, including the HTTP part of the link. The system will automatically open the link in a new window.
You can use the Add Media button to have the system automatically drop in the URL for a particular media item. It's ok if you haven't uploaded it to the system yet, you will be able to do it from the media gallery after you've clicked Add Media.

Buttons can be added within the text to put additional emphasis on important calls to action. To create a button within a text block, type the word(s) you'd like to use for the button text, click on the link icon in the text editor and follow the prompts to enter the link (and change the target, if needed), then on the last tab called "Advanced" look for a field named "stylesheet class" and type the corresponding word written below. The link will always look like a regular text link in Showtime, but it will be a button on the front end.
