Sidebar Widgets

Another way to personalize your site is via the widget area below the navigation menus on the bottom left of your site viewed on a computer or via the menu button when viewed on a mobile device.

The template comes with some starter widget content, but you are welcome to make any changes to it.

The initial TWU Spartans widget area content

The first widget is an editable text area to provide an introduction to the portfolio; it uses the [artifact] shortcode to list a current count of artifacts, and includes link to the About me page. The middle widget has a search tool; and the right side uses a special widget that lists one random artifact.

You can modify the widgets by looking in your WordPress Dashboard under found in the WordPress Dashboard under Appearance -> Widgets.
