Occasionally a third-party provider might give you some code to add to your website, to allow you to include an element of their product within your page content area.
A great example of this is adding the Twitter Timeline Widget to a page on your site. To obtain the code, you would need to visit the Twitter website.
Whilst this option is available, it should be used with caution, as getting it wrong could stop your website from functioning correctly, or even cause your website to go down. So, if you are unsure of what you are doing, please reach out to someone in your organisation who is comfortable adding the code, or contact our Support Team
If you are confident, follow these steps to add the required code to your page.
