Monklets
Monklets are snippets of code used to dynamically include content from your site. For example, a Monklet can be used to include the latest blog post, the three latest articles, or a signup form from the Forms module.
Overview
To insert a Monklet into your content, click Insert > Insert Monklet and select the Monklet you want from the pop-up menu.

Section Monklets
There are several common section Monklets for use in the content sections (subpage, fullwidth sections, and home page).
Section Monklet - Latest Sermon : Displays the most recent sermon. The series image is used as the background image and should follow the background image specifications for the sections. When using this Monklet none of the section settings apply.
Section Monklet - Recent Articles : Displays the 3 most recent articles.
Section Monklet - Recent Posts : Displays the 5 most recent posts in a rotator. You will need to use the name option to define which blog to pull posts from. http://help.monkcms.com/article/using-monklets/ provides details on using the find tag. For example: {{section-monklet-recent-posts|name="our-blog"}}. When using this Monklet the only section setting used is the background image (this displays in the left column with the subscribe button).
Section Monklet - Upcoming Events : Displays the 3 most recent events.
Section Monklet - Next Steps : Displays 4 images from a Link List in a grid with text and links. You will need to use the "find" option to define which link list it displays. For example: {{section-monklet-next-steps|find="home-next-steps"}}
