Blog posts

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.

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.
