You can already configure many layout and style settings for your live blogs within your Tickaroo organization.


Where can liveblog templates be created and edited?

For every live blog, you’ll find the "Liveblog Integration" option. In Step 2: Select Theme, there is an option to "Edit Theme". At this point, you can also create new themes.
