Block: Blog Post

Overview

Once you've crafted a blog post using Shopify's native Blog feature, you can utilize the Blog Post section from Easy Content Builder to showcase that post anywhere on your Shopify site. Most importantly, you'll have the flexibility to show or hide key elements of the blog post's content, including the 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 Blog Post section

• Step 1: Add a Section Settings section that allows you to control the global settings of the Blog Post 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 Blog Post section and customize the settings according to your preferences.

If you are new to our Easy Content Builder, please take a look at the Add Sections section for detailed instructions on how to add a section to your theme.
