Tickaroo Live Blog Teaser Widget – Showcase your live coverage on your homepage

The Tickaroo Live Blog Teaser Widget lets you promote your live blog directly on your homepage. It displays the latest or highlighted posts from your live blog – allowing readers to jump straight to the corresponding post with one click.

Here’s how it works:

• Create a Teaser Theme:
  Create your Teaser Theme in the same place where you create your Live Blog Theme and choose your preferred styling options. Check out the Helpdesk article: Teaser for News and Sports
   
• Embed the Teaser Widget:
  Add the generated Teaser Widget code to your website, just like the Live Blog Widget – for example, at the top of your homepage.
   
• Displayed Content:
  The widget shows the latest or highlighted posts from your live blog (you decide). Each post is linked, just like in a highlight slideshow or list.
   
• Ensure correct linking:
  Your live blog must be embedded first before you add the teaser. The teaser searches for the embedded live blog on your site.
• However, in your live blog settings, you can define the page URL under “Live blog URL.”
  → If set, the teaser links directly to this URL.
  → If not, our system automatically tries to find the correct page.
   
• Set a teaser title:
  You can assign a custom teaser title in your live blog settings. If none is set, the live blog title will be used.
   
• Statistics:
  Once your live blog and teaser are embedded, your live blog statistics will also show click data for your teaser.
