Link content across platforms

It can be a great assistance to clubs if they are able to post some news, announcements or updates on one platform and then have it automatically upload onto another platform. Whilst it is impossible to cover all of instances where a club might wish to do this, here are some suggestions about some of the common approaches:

• Link social media pages via a social media manager. One of the more well-known of these is Hootsuite. Their free service currently (as at April 2018) allows for the management of three social media profiles.

• Integrate social media with the website: this article by Hootsuite provides some suggestions on different ways to share social media content on the website

• Search online for specific instructions of how to link content. You may find these on:

  • The support pages of major sporting bodies who provide free websites to clubs

  • The pages of specific social media platforms (eg Facebook; Twitter)

  • The pages of website providers (eg Wordpress (this example links a Wordpress website and Facebook); or Wix (this example links Wix websites and Twitter)

• Conduct a specific online search with your particular problem: eg link content of xxxxx with yyyyy. The examples listed in the previous bullet point were all found using this type of online search.

Note that you may need to have a basic understanding of HTML to be able to set up some of these links (video from CodeHS).
