How to add blog without breaking existing components

I inherited an existing design, but it doesn’t have a blog section. The first time I tried to add one, I broke the whole site because I used a name that all the other pages were using for one of the styles (?) - I can’t remember exactly how I broke it.

Is there a good, safe, step by step of how to add a blog section?
