Blog

 Blog extension for Magento 2 introduces a fully functional blog to your store. The blog acts as a separate section of the store and can be accessed via the navigation menu of the home page or by a direct link. The extension features a wide range of customization options including post and page layout, number of posts per page, and different sidebar compositions. Blog posts are created and edited with the help of What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor. The posts can include videos, images, and other media. The store administrators can publish, save as drafts, or schedule required blog posts.

This Blog can be navigated by pages, tags and the recent posts can be featured in a dedicated block at the sidebars.
