How do I add a Blog page to my site?

I wasn’t sure if I’d need this sooner or later, but in order to customize the Search output page it looks like I need to custom the Blog Listing page. Great. How do I create a page that has blog content? I do not see any templates that look like they will contain blog posts? I’m confused. Thanks!

Hello Richard,

Thanks for writing in!

To create your custom blog index, simply do the following:

  • Go to Pages and create a new page entitled “Blog”
  • And then go to Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays assign the newly created “Blog” page as your “Posts Page”

You can tweak your blog index to have a standard or masonry layout by going to X > Theme Options > Blog and in X > Theme Options > {your stack} > Blog Options.

WordPress will dynamically generate post items when you visit the blog page (http://example.com/blog for example). For more details about creating your custom blog page, please check this codex:

Hope this helps.
