Blog List With Summary Skin

Choosing the ListWithSummary "skin" option from the How do you want your blog to look? section within the blog settings will show the post title and a summary that you manually typed in when you created your post.

Example Use:

This is a good skin option to choose if you have a little more space on your home page or you want to give the user a little snippet of information about what is in the blog post.  This skin option might entice the reader to read your blog post because they have a better idea of what the post is about.  This is useful if your title of your blog post doesn't do it justice.

How to:

  1. Login to your site.
  2. Navigate to the page your blog element is on and click Settings from the blog element toolbar.
  3. Under the How do you want your blog to look? choose ListWithSummary from the Skin dropdown menu.
  4. Click the Update button.
  5. If you do not have a summary on your blog post already, you will need to add one.
  6. While adding or editing a blog post, click on the ADVANCED tab.
  7. Under the heading Summary, type in the summary of your blog post.
  8. Click the Update button.
