@Mheanne - Is it possible to separate blog categories and display only those via a shortcode? As an example, if I have blogs in a category of “Market Update” and just want to display those on a certain page.

Hi Adam! Just checking, how would you like the blog posts to appear? Would you prefer a simple list of links, or do you want them displayed with images and previews?

We have a featured blog post snippet (#featured-blog-posts#) that you can use across different pages, but customizing it to display posts from a specific category would require a bit of custom work. If that’s the direction you’re leaning toward, I can definitely ask your Account Manager to connect with you to explore options.

I did this a bit of a different way (it’s pretty cool actually)

I used “tags” (custom coded it)

Here’s what it looks like:

We created this little widget manager (I also added snippets, forum threads etc, but you might just do blogs)

Once I select blogs, I can give it a few options

You wouldn’t care about themes (I have alternate designs if I wish) but you just choose blog post, decide what tags to query and then set a limit on how many you want to show on a page (shows from newest to oldest)

It’s a pretty cool feature, actually.

Then on the front end - I have a nice custom design (a few of them) and it also adds all the other tags which helps with keyword enrichment, visual appeal, and also dynamic interlinking
