Getting Started


The Blog Post Page is the actual page that your customers will find themselves on when reading any of the posts your store has published. This is distinct from the Blog Post blocks you can add to your store's homepage. For information on that, please check out How to Add and Customize Blog Post Blocks. It is also important to note that blog posts must have already been made before they can appear on this page. For more information on how to create blog posts, please check out How to Create and Add a Blog and How to Create and Add Posts to a Blog.
