## **Quick setup**
For the blog page template, you first need to **set up blog posts in your Shopify admin**. Then, in the theme editor, you can **customize the blogs template**.
> **Tip |** Check out Shopify's guide on [How to start a blog and grow your audience](https://www.shopify.com/blog/how-to-start-a-blog).
### **Set up blog**
Before editing the **Blog page template**, you need to add at least one blog post in your Shopify admin.
You can add custom **Excerpt** text. By default, Lorenza will display the first couple of sentences from your post. You can add a custom excerpt or post tagline.
