Sample WinkLinks entry

Add content

Here’s how you add content to WinkLinks. Under the Entries tab, start by clicking the Add entry button.

Normal link

Tip

The link has to go to a web page. For example, you cannot link directly to a PDF. If you want to share a PDF, you need to use the Upload file feature.

Here are the steps to add a normal link:

1. Enter the link you want to share. e.g. https://trvl.as/s/3xWCH
2. Once you enter the link, Wink goes out looking for the details of this website and populates the form you see next.
3. You can choose to modify some of the data, such as the site name, title and description.
4. You can also choose to upload a custom image.
5. Click the Save button when you are ready to continue.

Upload file

Requirements

• Images cannot exceed 10Mb in size.
• Videos cannot exceed 50Mb in size.
• We support all recognized image and video formats, including PDF.

Recommendations

• 2560w x 1440h (16x9 aspect ratio) for your featured image.
• 2560w x 1920h (4:3 aspect ratio) for all other images.
• Image size should not be larger than 5Mb. Please compress your images before uploading to Wink.

Here are the steps to adding a file:

1. Media can be added:
   • By dragging images from your computer onto the window or click Browse.

3. Click the Save button when you are ready to continue.

Write a quote

Tip

A quote is a great way to add a delimiter to break up a long list […and it makes you sound smart and knowledgable too 😉].

Here are the steps to writing a quote:

1. Type the quote e.g. Roses are red. Violets are blue….
2. Enter the name of the original author. e.g. Edmund Spenser
3. Enter the name of the site where you got the quote from. e.g. Daily Quotes
4. Click the Save button when you are ready to continue.

Sorting content

You can order your content by clicking on the icon located in the bottom-left corner of every entry and dragging it the position you’d like it to be in.

Grouping content

Tip

Create your tags before you create your entries. Otherwise, you lose your progress and have to start over.

When you are editing an entry, you have the option to add one or more tags for grouping purposes. Scroll to the bottom of the form to find the Tags form field.

Users, looking at your WinkLinks page, are able to choose how they want to consume your content (either list or grid) and can select, one or more, tags to further filter your content.
