    Hello,

    I am trying to figure out how to build a really amazing blog. All the layouts I see are actual themes by other companies. How can I layout a blog like this: https://www.lightspeedhq.com/blog/ ?

    Hello There,

    Thanks for writing in! You can mimic this layout by using elements in Cornerstone. With the help of recent post element you may have this layout. You could also make use of the Essential Grid or The Grid plugin which you can install from X Addons > Extensions. Again, this design is coming from a well designed WordPress theme. You cannot install this theme along with X because WordPress only allows one theme active at a time.

    Hope this explains it briefly.

    Hi Rue,

    The recent posts are ok but extremely limited since there is no pagination allowed (unless you know of a way). I intend on having many hundreds of posts in the next couple years and I want to get this blog working perfect. Im trying to have a solid right panel with a subscribe area. How can I accomplish this? Are there any other things I can install, people I can hire, etc?

    Hey Daniel,

    Pagination is possible with the essential grid plugin and for the subscribe area, you can make use of the Mailchimp services and its plugin for WordPress. X theme is fully customizable. Let us know if you need any help while you build your blog.

    Cheers
