Put a widget:

• To put a widget in a desired location for every pages, you can use Setting.
• To put a widget as a content of your page, you can use Navigation Management and edit the static content.
• More advance designer/programmer might also like to edit the theme file directly. To do this, please refer to designer's theme guide

Widget tags:

• You can put a single widget by using {{ widget_name:your_widget_name }}. E.g: {{ widget_name:logout }} will be parsed into logout link.
• You can also put a group of widgets by using {{ widget_slug:your_widget_slug }}. E.g: {{ widget_slug:user_widget }} will put both login form and logout link (however only one can appeared at a time, since login widget only appeared to unauthenticated visitor, while logout widget only appeared to authenticated user).
• You can even put widget as part of your page by editing your page static content.
