Blog pages

Blog pages on your online store are the homepage for any blogs that you create in your Shopify admin.

By default, blog pages contain a Blog posts section in the theme editor.

Blog posts section settings

The Blog posts section displays the latest blog posts within a blog. With each blog post, you can display a featured image, the blog post's title, and either the excerpt or the first few words of the blog post. For larger screens, you can display your blog posts in a grid or a collage format.

Review the following settings and descriptions for the Blog posts section on blog pages.
