It would be good if we could add buttons to the footer of the StoryMap to link to our organisation/project social media pages (not the same as social sharing buttons). These could also be linked to the themes. For example, the organisation's twitter, facebook, instagram, email etc.

Hi @Anneka_France! There currently is the Credits section that is available at the bottom of the story. We've seen many authors use that area to provide links to their or their organization's social media pages. Is that something that would work for you?

Hi @OwenGeo . It would be useful to be able to add them as small button icons in the footer above the credits, rather than having to list them with the attribution for the media/data in the StoryMap.

Thanks for the additional detail, Anneka. I'll pass this suggestion on to our design team and we'll track this idea for additional votes/comments.

There's an exciting new way to embed stories in your own web pages. This method of embedding works via a <script> tag (as opposed to a simple <iframe>) and provides advanced customization capabilities, including the ability to add custom buttons, your own custom header/footer, and much more.
