Usage

Blog Posts pulls published posts into a grid or list. Choose how many to show, which categories to include, and how thumbnails and excerpts appear—all from the block sidebar.

When to use it

Add it to a homepage, news index sidebar, or landing page when you want fresh posts beside static marketing copy. Pair with a View all link in a nearby Action Strip when the list is truncated.

Tips

  • Populate By limits posts to selected categories for topical bands (“Company news”, “Tips”).
  • Columns and Style change density; list style suits narrow columns.
  • Featured image and excerpt toggles keep cards scannable on archive-style layouts.
