Installing an Inline Widget

An 'in-line' widget is a standard piece of content that can be included at any place within the larger content. The example is of a resource box published at the end of a post. It could equally have been used to place the widget anywhere within the content. Another widget commonly used Inline is the Contact Form widget.

Using an in-line widget to place it within the entry content will ensure that it goes out with the RSS feed c.f. a text widget included in the Entries panel to appear after every entry will appear on the blog but is not part of the entry content and will not be included in the RSS feed.

Open the Inline Widgets panel.
Add any widget you wish to use to the panel and click on Edit to open the content.
This Text widget has already been edited and the Title added so that it is identifiable in the drop down list.

1. Add the Title. This will appear in the blue Title box above only after you have Saved Changes
2. Add the content of the widget in html code.

Don't forget to SAVE CHANGES

When editing your content in the Visual Editor click on the small arrow beside the Widget icon to reveal the drop down menu.
All the Inline Widgets you have created will be listed here. This is why you edit the title when creating the widget so you can recognise it here.

It's in the grey box!
You will not see the content of the widget while editing. However, the grey box indicates that it has been included.
After you save and publish the content of the widget will appear wherever you have placed it.
