How Do I Add an App Download Prompt to the Header or Footer of My Blogs?

To encourage your blog readers to download your station’s app, you can add a custom prompt with download links in the header or footer of your blog posts. Below are step-by-step instructions and a ready-to-use template you can customize for your station.

What You Need

• Custom Prompt Text: Write a few lines encouraging users to download your app. Replace [DOWNLOAD PROMPT TEXT] in the template with your message.
• iOS App Link: Find your station’s iOS app link (e.g., https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/104.3-the-party/id1102570258?mt=8). Replace [iTUNES APP LINK] in the template with your link.
• Android App Link: Find your station’s Android app link (e.g., https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cromwellradio.wcbhfm&hl=en). Replace [ANDROID APP LINK] in the template with your link.

Important Note

When replacing the placeholder text in the code, be sure to remove the square brackets [ ] and the placeholder text itself. There should be no spaces between href and the closing > in the code.
