Make your story maps stand out with tips from the Story Maps Developers' Corner

[CarolineCraig]

The Story Maps Developers’ Corner is a great place for developers of all experience levels to learn how to customize Esri’s open-source Story Map apps. The Story Maps team has shared many tips and tricks on the Dev Corner since it was announced back in Nov 2015, and have also had contributions from several guest authors.

Here’s what we’ve been blogging about on the Dev Corner since our last update on the ArcGIS blog:

• An introduction to hosting your own Story Map

• Editing the configuration of a story map

• Customize the theme and fonts in Cascade

• Adding Image Hyperlinks to a Cascade

• Using Story Map URL Parameters

• Add a Language Switcher to a Cascade Story

• Move or Style the Story Action <BACK button in Map Journal or Map Series

• Navigate Map Journal Sections Using the Main Stage Map

• Change the Color of a Cascade Header

• More Story Action button styles

• Trimming videos in your Story Maps

Additionally, these guest posts have been published:
