Organizing Blog Posts

Your website builder will organize them by date in the post order when creating a blog. Whenever a blog post is made, it shows with the most recent post at the top of the posting page and then the older ones at the bottom.

• You can use settings like Featured to display the post at the top of the list.
  
  


• Alternatively, you can add Categories to label and sort your posts for your readers to find similar posts.
  
  


• If there is more than one page of posts, the newer posts will appear on page 1 while the older ones will “Page 2” or “Page 3” etc.
