If you are using the Atahualpa theme, be sure to consider using kickers, bylines, and footers for your pages.
Atahualpa pages and posts generally are made up of five parts:
- The Kicker (displayed above the post or page title)
- The Header (you enter this when you create content)
- The Byline (displayed between the header and body)
- The Body (you enter this when you create content)
- The Footer (displayed after the body)
By default, the main one that is put to use is the footer, which shows the number of comments, tags, etc. for a post or page.
The Kicker, the Byline, and the Footer are shared between types of objects.
The Homepage
You can set a custom kicker, byline, and footer on your home page.
The header can be a good place to put a link to your store, while the byline makes a good spot for key links or a description of what you offer.
Multi-Post Pages
These are pages (such as category pages and archives) where multiple posts are displayed at a time.
Any kicker, byline, or footer you setup for Multi-Post pages will be shared by all of them and displayed for each post.
For a selling site, I prefer to place only the post date (in the byline), but you might want to display the author, tags, categories, or other information.
Single Post Pages
Kickers, bylines, and footers set for single post pages will be displayed on each individual post.
Some common uses for them are:
- Displaying the date, author, tags, and/or categories for the post
- Displaying site wide offers or informational links
Single Page Pages
Kickers, bylines, and footers set for "Page" pages are shared between them and displayed on each page.
Some common uses for them are:
- Displaying the date and/or author for the page
- Displaying banners, offers, widgets, or links
