Social Media Links
A great way to keep connected with your fans is through social media. Whether its Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest or other social media, your fans will search for a way to connect with you. All Beetiful website themes have the support to add these important links to your site. Some themes place them on the header, on the sidebar, or on the footer.
Blog
All Beetiful websites, with the exception of the Busy Bee websites, come with a blog. If you don’t like like the traditional blogging, you can turn the section into a News section and use it for special announcements such as book cover reveals, book releases, contests, appearances, and / or special deals.
