Getting Started
Blog Post blocks are an excellent means for showcasing your previously written blog posts. Whether your store is simply updated your customers about what is currently happening or what will be happening, blog posts are excellent means for disseminating information and helping your customers stay up to date with your store's affairs. Because this block links to previously made blog posts, you will have to write them outside of your theme editor. For more information on how to write blog posts, check out How to Create and Add a Blog
