# The Credit Block

## Learn about the Credit Block and how this tool gives you an alternative option on how to recognize people outside the byline.

The **Credit Block** is a flexible way to highlight and recognize people on your Indiegraf site. Whether you want to give credit to an author, collaborator, or sponsor, this block makes it simple and visually appealing.

### Why Use the Credit Block?

- **Flexible recognition:** You’re no longer limited to crediting only authors in the byline.
- **Easy to set up:** No need to create a new user account—just add the block and fill in the details.
- **Visually catchy:** Its clean, structured design makes credits stand out on the page.
- **Adaptable placement:** Since it’s a block, you can place it in multiple areas of your site, not just posts.

*Example of the Credit Block:*

### How It Works

- **Simple design:** The block is designed to look neat and organized.
- **Optional fields:** It only displays the information you choose to fill out, keeping it clean. The available fields you can fill out are:

    - A "brought to you by" overarching introduction line
    - A *logo* or *image*
    - A *title*
    - A *description*
    - *Fine print section*

### Examples of Use

1. Credit a **guest writer** without creating a site account.
2. Highlight a **photographer, illustrator, or designer** involved in a project.
3. Recognize a **sponsor** on a campaign landing page.
4. Showcase a **community partner** on your homepage.
