I appreciate this video and I love how there is customization capabilities and being able to monetize. Let alone being able to utilize the email/website builder tool! Lets see how this goes!
Looks like you recreated AWA's template in Beehiiv. Could you release that one and a few such templates for the users? I have followed along the videos and I get all the concepts in theory, but have a hard time making design choices that would look good. Some ready made templates would be so helpful.
You would simply add an image widget wherever the break should go and use the desired image. The default content break widget is a dashed, dotted, or solid line.
How do i set different image on the home page of my newsletter - it just puts the thumbnail - is there a video - for each of my posts I want the corresponding image to show on the home page, not the thumbnail, how do I do this???
How do you access these functionalities from the editor? In my account, the options in the upper right-hand corner are Post, Email, Website, SEO and Delivery, not the Configure, Preview, Test, Theme, Help shown in this video. I want to adjust the theme but I have absolutely no idea how to get to that tab
@@beehiiv Hmm, I thought your email newsletter structure is already sufficient as both platform and emailer. That's overkill on their part, but I guess they chose it for the flexibility in layouting the newsletter their way. I'm now curious to know how an email infrastructure even with a different plaform -- Wordpress, perhaps Webflow, Ghost, Headlesss CMS? -- would work with Beehiiv. I've been binge-watching your videos and as far as know, you still have the one column layout. Still, curious to know how that email infrastructure works on different platforms or how it just works basically as a "standalone" platform? Your response made me really think hard about this now. Hope you have some answers for me. Thanks

How do you add an image in the content break? You mentioned it can be done, but the Design Lab section for content breaks only has options for lines.
im sorry but you can give any advice you want but at a certain point you really should provide a drag and drop tool
When will we be able to incorporate columns?
also text and images in line
@@shareefahayat Within the next few weeks
@@beehiiv This will be an amazing feature!! Looking forward to it!
@@shareefahayat text and images in-line would be great.
Any updates on columns ?
can you make a video on how to make them?
WHAT IS THE PATH TO GET TO THIS EDITOR? I'M NEW AND IT'S NOT REALLY INTUITIVE. THANK YOU
Under the Write menu -> Posts -> New post
how do I add an image as the content break? I don't see any place under the content break that allows me to add an image
You would simply add an image widget wherever the break should go and use the desired image.
The default content break widget is a dashed, dotted, or solid line.
The image I want stretches out of proportion and there doesn't seem to be an option to display at the size I built it.@@beehiiv
How do i set different image on the home page of my newsletter - it just puts the thumbnail - is there a video - for each of my posts I want the corresponding image to show on the home page, not the thumbnail, how do I do this???
The thumbnail is the image that shows on the homepage currently.
How can I change the radius of an image that I have added to the template?
Right now, image editing must be done outside of beehiiv
how can I center buttons???
Once you create a button, you can select the centering option from the menu.

Yes you can goo here: app.beehiiv.com/post_themes/edit?settings=true
How can I remove social media link icons from the header of newsletter
There's an option from the post editor under the 'Email' settings.
Can we add gifs in the emails?
Yes!
How do we add emojis?
By typing ":" and then selecting the emoji from the library.
Can also copy/paste emojis directly.
Looks like Accidentally Wes Anderson has moved to Wordpress?
Nope, they've always been on WordPress - we power their email infrastructure.

There is no Logo option in Header Image it only shows Thumbnail option.
It works in the same way. The thumbnail shows up at the top of the email so you can upload your logo there.
