1. Our guide to set up a Blog posts section:
2. Section settings
Section header
Heading: The title above the posts. Leave it blank to hide it.
Heading size: 15–80px.
Heading alignment: Left / Center. With Left, the View all link sits next to the heading. With Center, it becomes a View all button below the posts.
General
Blog: The blog to show posts from.
Blog posts: How many of the latest posts to show, 2–4.
Show featured image: Shows each post's featured image.
Image ratio: Adapt to image / Square / Portrait / Landscape.
Show date: Shows the date the post was published.
Show author: Shows the post's author.
Enable "View all" button if blog includes more blog posts than shown: Adds a link to your blog. It only appears when the blog has more posts than the section shows.
Color scheme: The colors of the section.
Corner radius
Corner radius: 0–40px. With the Background 1 color scheme, it rounds the post images. With any other scheme, it rounds the whole post card.
Section padding
Top padding and Bottom padding: 0–100px.
Each post shows the first 30 words of its excerpt. If a post has no excerpt, the first 30 words of its content are shown instead.
3. How to add a blog post to your online store:
From your Shopify admin, go to Content → Blog posts → Add blog post.
For the Blog posts section to look its best, give every post a Title, Content, a Featured image and an Excerpt.
Click Save.
4. Tips
Write a short excerpt (under 30 words) for each post so the text isn't cut off mid-sentence.
Use featured images with a similar shape, or pick an Image ratio other than Adapt to image, so the cards line up.
