Adding featured blog post section

If you already have a blog feed, you can create another feed to display your existing blog posts in different ways. For example, a “Recent posts” section on your homepage or a “Featured posts” section on a service page.

You don’t need to re-add posts; instead, you can configure the new feed to pull content from your existing one automatically.

Adding a blog feed

1. In the left sidebar menu, click Website > Pages.

2. Select the page where you want to add your blog feed.

3. Click Add section.

4. From the list, click Blog feed.

5. Choose a section layout from the options that appear, then click Continue.

6. Under Collection, click Add existing blog posts. Select All blog posts to display your full feed.

Optional: You can also select specific posts to show by ticking the button beside your selected blog.

The selected posts will appear automatically in the section.

Using automatic sorting and filtering

You can control how your blog posts appear in a feed using either manual or automatic sorting.

With manual sorting, you get to decide the exact order, and if you add a new post, you have to place it yourself.

With automatic sorting, the system does the work for you. Every time you publish a new blog, it's automatically placed in the feed depending on the rules you set. This means you don't have to worry about constantly rearranging your content.

Method 1. Quick sort

1. Under the Collection section of your feed, click the up-and-down arrow icon.

2. Choose whether to Sort (newer first) or Sort (oldest first).

Method 2. Advanced sorting

1. Under the Collection section of your feed, click Display options.

2. Under Content source, click the dropdown menu to choose your blog source.

3. Click Blog post.

4. Select All blog posts to display your full feed OR select specific posts to show by ticking the button beside your selected blog.

2. Click Automatic, and use drop-down options to set rules.

• Sort by: Predetermined list of filters you can choose from, ranging from titles, description, media, and other types of tag.

• Number of items to show: Limit how many posts display in the section.

• Add filters: Allows you to add your custom filter for sorting.

If you choose these settings, your three most recent blog posts will always display, and when you add a new blog post, it will automatically update, and the older one will drop off.
