Adding Widgets

Adding widgets to the template

All important widgets are located inside gicon/partials/widgets, these widgets can work inside Sidebar or Footer and be imported as a “partial”. The most important is to follow the widget name format, example “recent-articles” note that .hbs part is removed when using partials.

The full list of widgets are:

1. About Me (not visible in demo but available): gicon/partials/widgets/about.hbs
2. Advertising (not visible in demo but available): gicon/partials/widgets/advertising.hbs
3. Recent Articles: gicon/partials/widgets/recent-articles.hbs
4. Related Articles (not visible in demo but available): gicon/partials/widgets/related-articles.hbs
5. Social Profiles: gicon/partials/widgets/social-profiles.hbs
6. Tag Cloud: gicon/partials/widgets/tag-cloud.hbs
7. Text Widget (used in footer): gicon/partials/widgets/text-footer.hbs

How to add widgets to the sidebar

1. Go to gicon/partials/sidebar.hbs
2. All widgets are inside the folder gicon/partials/widgets
