There are some elements that are specific for CMS templates. Not every CMS system supports all of them. Also, site administrators can decide not to use them, even if they are supported. Nevertheless, if you design a platform that supports these elements, you should include them in your project.
Post header icons are displayed next to the post header. Artisteer supports the Author, Date, Edit, Email, PDF, and Print icons. The last position on the list (Data) contains its own subelements.
We will choose the Print icon as an example, but the procedure is the same for each icon. To set the Print icon, do the following:
- Select a blog page on the Pages panel on the left. If you don't have any, create one. Also, create at least one post to be able to observe the inserted icon.
- In the Content tab on the ribbon, navigate to Post Header | Icons | Print. Enable the Show Print option. This enables our template to support this icon. After enabling this option, additional options will appear with the collection of available icons. Choose the icon you prefer.

Post footer icons are displayed under the post. Artisteer supports three kinds of these icons, namely Category, Comments, and Tags. The procedure is analogical to inserting post header icons, but instead of the Post header button, we use Post footer.
We will style Icons for Comments:
- Select a blog page on the Pages panel on the left. If you don't have any, create one. Also, create at least one post to be able to observe the inserted icon.
- In the Content tab on the ribbon, navigate to Post Footer | Icons | Comments. Enable the Show Comments option. This makes our template to support this icon. After enabling this option, additional options will appear with the collection of available icons.
- Choose the icon you prefer.
Setting Comments icon
Actually, you don't need a blog page to set up the post icons, but working with a blog page (with at least one post) has the advantage that you immediately see all changes.
