Overview

After you've created a blog, you can start writing your blog posts using the Article section provided by Easy Content Builder. It allows you to manage the core elements of your blog post's content (Title, Content, Meta data, Tags, etc.).

You can use the Easy Content Builder app to add various content blocks to your blog post, such as incorporating a how-to video and featuring products on the sidebar. See this example.
By default, Easy Content Builder offers support for structured data (schema.org) to generate rich snippets for the Article section, ultimately enhancing the SEO performance of your Shopify store.

How to add Article section

  • Step 1: Add a Section Settings section that allows you to control the global settings of the Article section.
In this special section, you can specify multi-column layouts, activate full width, determine the section's maximum width, choose a background color, and set global margins and padding, among other options.
  • Step 2: Add an Article section and customize the settings according to your preferences.
