You have the freedom to select your desired Blog Format when you customise your Blog Page Settings. Your chosen format will reflect how your blog posts will be arranged and displayed on your blog page.

One of the available blog format options is the Grid View.

The Grid format allows you to display posts on the blog page in a grid form. This format has two style options:

• Standard Style - This style displays your posts individually in one single row. Information about each post is placed right below its corresponding photo, if any.
• Card Style - All posts appear as thumbnails and are arranged in rows. Information for each post is placed over their corresponding thumbnail with your selected color overlay.

Follow the steps below to apply Grid format to your blog page.

1. Log In to access the Website Builder dashboard.
2. Under My Sites, click the Edit Site option on the website or project card that you wish to manage.
3. Click Pages from the left-side menu, hover your mouse pointer over Blog, then click the Gear Icon on its right.
   
   

   Note: Make sure you have enabled Blog first before proceeding to these steps.
