Key Considerations:

  • To ensure your blog posts appear on the homepage, remember to select Featured on Home Page when creating your posts. At least one post should have this setting for the feed to show correctly.

  • Regularly update your feed by removing outdated posts, as this will make room for new posts to display on your homepage. By doing this, your homepage will always show the most recent and relevant blog posts.
