#### See how to use Content Snippets
A weekly preview of prominent, fun, irreverent or otherwise noteworthy events is a great way to build content & ***serious SEO value*** on your site while also providing great fodder for social media and email campaigns.
You may occasionally want to write a dedicated preview of a special upcoming event or perhaps a review after an event. All of which are terrific.
**Once you're ready to go it couldn't be easier:**
**Step 1** - Put your cursor where you want the content and click Insert Content Snippet
**Step 2** - Select "type" of content (article, page, listing, or event) and you can select the \*image size - thumbnail (default) or medium. Then start typing title (or words from title), the system will show potential matches for you to choose from.
*\*The image size in the examples in this article are thumbnail or you can choose "Medium" which will use a slightly larger image in the aspect ratio of the original image. It can be much more attractive with the right content.*
**Step 3** - Adjust inserted content as needed. For instance, recurring events will show the first instance of an event and thus you should update the date by hand to represent to current/appropriate event instance.
**Step 4** - Finish formatting article and publish as you normally would.
