Page Example line
Home page “Need help finding something on Demo University? Click me!”
Page with sections “This page covers Undergraduate applications, Postgraduate applications and Closing dates.”
Blog post ““Marine research station opens” takes about 7 min to read. Enjoy!” At the end of the post it suggests a related post.
Contact page “You can reach Demo University at info@… or +27 …”

Things it does on its own

  • Main button: walks over and points at the main button in the page content, once per button per visit.
  • Theme colour: matches your theme’s button or link colour.
  • Tips: shows occasional tips about a page, a new post or a popular topic.
  • Before you go: offers a suggestion when a desktop visitor moves to leave, once per visit.
  • Offer to help: says “Looking for something? Click me and ask!” if nobody has opened the menu after 40 seconds.

Override a single page

Every page has a Site Mascot box in the editor where you can set a message, an isiZulu message, what the mascot should point at, or hide it on that page.
