Cover Image

We have included a sample cover image.

1. Click on the image. Make sure you are on the cover block.
2. Click the Replace button and select an image from your media library or upload an image. A landscape-oriented image will work better

Quick Tip: At the top of the page, you will see a button for List View. This will give you a handy way of isolating each block to make changes.

News Section

The next section has a Posts block. This will display the latest Posts on your website. You can decide how many posts you want to show, what categories, what order, etc. If you do not use Posts on your website, you can remove this block. Currently, it will show the latest two Posts.

Save Changes

1. Click the Update button in the top right to save and publish your changes.

News Page

1. Go to Customizer > Content > Posts List
2. Sidebars: Change if you want sidebars visible. By default, we have turned these off on this view.

What are Posts?

Posts are a separate content type. Posts are used for things like news, articles, or other timely content. They are generally displayed in reverse chronological order. You can use Categories and Tags to organize the content. Learn more about Posts and Pages.

Creating Posts is similar to pages. To create a new Post, simply choose Post from the New > Post menu at the top or from Posts > Add New in the Dashboard.

As you create and publish new Posts, they will appear on your News page.

Blog Format

If you chose the Blog format when creating your website, it will be very similar to the website format. The main difference is that your homepage will be a display of your recent Posts.
