Welcome to the new blog

Layouts you can choose per post, listings you can filter with a right-click, and every template editable as a block.

The blog has had a proper overhaul. Every post can now choose how it looks, every listing can be searched and filtered without leaving the page, and all of it is built from blocks you can edit.

Layouts, per post

Open any post in the editor and pick a layout from the Layout card: Classic, Feature (this one), Minimal or Sidebar. The site-wide default lives in the Blog settings, behind the cog.

Listings that answer back

The blog index is no longer a static list. Search it, narrow it to a category with the pills, or right-click any post for "More in this category", "More tagged…" and "More by this author".

Everything is a block

The layouts are ordinary blocks called blog-post-* and blog-card-*. Change one in the Blocks tool and every post using it changes with it. Copy one under a new name and it appears as a new choice.

Start with the Blocks tool, not the code. That is the point.

Enjoy it - and delete these sample posts from the Posts menu whenever you are ready.
