1. Add the Widget to Your Website

Add the CSS and JavaScript files to your website page. Replace YOUR_WIDGET_KEY with the Widget Key from your dashboard.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://postlinenews.com/css/posts.css">
<script
    src="https://postlinenews.com/js/posts.js"
    data-widget-key="YOUR_WIDGET_KEY"

></script>

Then place the widget layout where you want the posts to appear.
