Blog Settings

Purpose

Configures the public-facing blog/news section as a whole: page title, posts-per-page, layout, and which posts to feature. Pairs with Posts (the individual articles).

When to use this

When you want to change the look or behaviour of /news (or /blog), without editing each post.

Key fields

Blog title — appears as the H1 on the index page (e.g. "Club News").
Description — paragraph under the title.
Posts per page — pagination size. 9 or 12 are good defaults.
Archive layout — Grid, List, or Magazine. Affects how index cards render.
Featured posts — relationship to up to 3 Posts. They appear in a hero strip above the index.
Show categories — boolean. Whether the category filter sidebar renders.
Show search — boolean. Whether the search bar renders.
Custom CSS — scoped overrides for the blog templates.

Common tasks

Feature a post on the blog index

Website > Blog Settings.
Featured posts > Add and pick the post.
Save. The post appears in the hero strip.

Change layout

Blog Settings > Archive layout.
Pick Grid / List / Magazine.
Save and refresh the public index to compare.

Hide categories from the index

Blog Settings > toggle off Show categories.

Gotchas

Featured posts override date order — featured posts appear first regardless of publish date. They don't appear twice (in the strip and again in the chronological list).
Posts per page applies retroactively — changing from 9 to 30 might surface very old posts visitors haven't seen. Consider pagination separately from frequency.
Custom CSS is scoped to the blog templates — site-wide styles still live in Site Settings.
