Blog widgets
| Widget | Description |
|---|---|
| All Blogs List | By default, this widget displays all of the most recent blogs from across your site. It provides a large amount of preview text so users can get a feel for what a post is about, as well as pagination buttons to easily browse the complete list of blog posts.
EXAMPLE |
| Recent Blogs | Unlike the All Blogs List Widget, the Recent Blogs Widget is designed to provide a "snapshot" of recent blog posts. It's typically limited to three posts, and displays less text, making it ideal to place in a page's sidebar.
EXAMPLE |
| Blog Details | Displays a blog post's full details page. By default, this widget is used on the "Blog Viewer" page. |
| Create/Edit Blog Post | Displays the form used to create/edit a blog post. By default, this widget is used on the "Post to Your Blog" page. |
