Add a Cool Editable Letterboard to your Ning Community

[⚡JFarrow⌁]

Just an easy little plugin to add anywhere inside your community in an HTML module:.

Example links to a Codepen to play around with it.

Simply open up a HTML module in the backend or in a Group backend.   Paste the following into the HTML view of the editor.

The last part contains the words that you can edit to customize it inside your Ning community.  Let me know if you need help with any aspect of your Ning community.

Very cool way to highlight announcements and new features on a site.  Thank you for sharing.  Now...........wha do I have to tweak to get it to fill a smaller box?   My brain just doesn't work like it used to.  lol

[Kos]

Had to remove it, sadly.  It put a dark background behind the entire website and the image wouldn't resize.  I'm bummed.

I can modify it for you if you would like it to be self contained...

thanks it would have been perfect but it creates problems for css theme 3.0
