I’ve just spent an interesting evening attending a meetup / webinar called “Let’s Talk Content Design,” hosted by the UX Glasgow Meetup group.
Several speakers talked about this quote from Sarah Winters, defining content design:
Content design is a way of thinking… It’s about using data and evidence to give the audience what they need, at the time they need it, and in a way they expect.
— Sarah Winters, Content Design
Over the summer I helped out with setting up information blogs about Digital Education for the staff and students in GeoSciences.
One pattern that we needed to use several times was an index box linked to headings in sections with ‘back to top’ links, so I created a basic template that can be pasted into WordPress.
Anyone is welcome to adapt and use this: either copy and paste the top section into the Visual editor, or copy and paste the HTML section into the Text editor.
If your theme allows you to use Custom CSS (some but not all of ours do), you can use the id and class names for visually styling the elements.
Note: I have linked to line breaks above the headings rather than the headings themselves due to the variation in how the different themes we were using treat anchor links.
