multiple moderators within one network. The additional moderators

Calls to Action (CTAs) are a very important part
of your blogging program. A great CTA can help you achieve your
goals – whether those goals are to drive traffic to your website,
encourage whitepaper downloads, or sign-up for a webinar. The video
below focuses on some best practices that will help you when
designing and creating CTAs.
Check out this video, so you can begin designing your new
call-to-action today!
By default, Administrators and Authors do not have the ability to

through a
request to the Product Support team. If you are interested in
gaining access to the template editor, you or someone in your
company can become a Designer. The Designer role will allow you to
further customize the look and feel of your network's template and
will provide you with 24-7 access to manage all template
modifications.

landing page and the fact that no posts compend to landing pages.
Content on landing pages looks similar to a blog post that sits in
the content area.
