Social Media Links added to myRealPage’s Dynamic Contact Weblet
Posted in: Blog, Design, myRealPage, Real Estate, Technology by Paul McEwan on January 7, 2011 | No Comments
A new feature was added to myRealPage today that enables an average user to add their social media links with icons in their contact information. You can read about it on their website at Adding support for Social Media links to the websites.
How does it work?
There are two basic steps.
- Add your links in the Site Settings of your website staging area and publish.
- Add the Contact Info Weblet into a page of your website (Manage Content) making sure the Hide Social Media remains unchecked and publish
What does this mean to you?
This is basic administration. You don’t have to ask a designer to this for you and you don’t have to know any advanced administration to add links to your social media sites and profiles. This is basic and offers no styling from a basic administration level so you may still want help to swap out the icons or place them a certain way on your website.
What does this mean to us?
We now offer this new item under basic administration; yes, we can do this for you. We have been adding social media links to websites for a long time without using the Contact Info Weblet. Now that we can do this from the Contact Info Weblet means your information will be dynamic from the site settings. If you ever delete and change a Twitter account all you need to do is update the Site Settings in your myRealPage website and publish to make the change on all pages.
On a side note, many myRealPage designers have made the mistake of not using the dynamic weblets. Some websites get re-designed to a point of complete dependence on the designer that made those changes. For instance, when the Contact Info Weblet is not used then a simple phone number change or update to the photo is a call to your designer at a greater expense than a simple basic administration update to the Site Settings. Keep that in mind. Our designs try to maintain all the owner editing abilities that came with the off-the-shelf myRealPage product. From my point of view, being able to edit myRealPage easily and on your own is a huge selling feature.
