The Blog posts section displays a carousel of featured blog posts. Select which articles to feature and customize the content and style of the section.
Check out Shopify's guide on How to start a blog and grow your audience.
For the Blog posts section to display properly, you will need to add Featured images to posts in your Shopify admin.
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.
Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can create new templates or insert dynamic content with metafields.
Add up to 12 blog post articles to display in a grid and change the order in which they appear.
Change the section style, adjust the number of columns, and crop the shape of your blog images. You can also change the section headings and link text for the buttons.
Customize the section Style with options for section Spacing, Animation, and Alternate section color.
