Introduction

The News feed tab appears on every personal, organisation and project page. On organisation and project pages it shows your own posts made directly on Izele and posts from your linked social media accounts. On personal pages you can show either your own Izele posts and linked social media posts, or the posts from all the Izele pages you have liked.

You can filter which of your linked social media posts appear by setting filter keywords, which is particularly relevant for people linking to their personal social media accounts who only want to show conservation-related posts. You can also specify whether registered Izele users can add comments to your posts.
