Add images and excerpts
For the Blog posts section to display properly, you will need to add Featured images to posts in your Shopify admin.
You can also add Excerpts to your blog posts to customize the text that appears in the blog posts section. Otherwise, Stiletto will display the first few lines of your post.
STEPS
In your Shopify Admin:
Find your blog posts under Online Store > Blog posts.
In the Featured image section, click Add image to upload an image file.
There are no required dimensions. We recommend using the same shape and size for all blog images with a minimum width of
2500pxfor optimal quality across all devices.(Optional.) In the Excerpt section, add a short summary of your post to appear in the blog posts section.
For the best results, write excerpts that are approximately the same length for all blog posts.
