Blog Block Layout Options

You can choose from 12 Blog Block layouts. Here's a quick overview of what each one does:

PhotoBiz offers multiple Blog Block layouts so you can choose the style that best fits your branding and content. Below is an overview of what each layout displays.

Editorial Layouts

Feed
Blogs will display the post details and cover image follow a serpentine display, where the cover image alternates to be to the left or right of the post details from row to row. One post will display per row so you will not see a column selection for this layout. A preview of the first 500 characters of the blog post text is found below the post title and date. A button displaying "Read More" shows below the preview, which opens the entire post once clicked.

Contemporary Journal
A clean, single-column journal-style layout with the post title and date displayed above a large featured image. Each post includes a visible text excerpt below the image and a Read More link.
