Select specific categories or posts: Choose a category or enter the post ID to display only specific posts. You can also use the search function to easily find the posts or categories you need.
Post selection: Depending on your preferences, choose whether posts should be displayed by category, date, or popularity.
3. Adjustment of the contribution list
Customize how posts are displayed on your website based on your selection criteria:
- Latest posts - Show the latest posts first so visitors see the most up-to-date content.
- Featured posts - Highlight your favorite or most important posts by only showing those marked as featured.

Customize the appearance of each blog post to match your design preferences:
- Content layout - Adjust the content alignment, fonts, and text formatting of the post.
- Image alignment - Control how images are positioned within the post (note that the image page may automatically adjust for better layout on smaller screens).
- Comments & Effects - Manage whether comments appear under posts and apply visual effects such as shadows for added style.
Although automatic adjustments are made for optimal display on different devices, you should always preview on different screen sizes to ensure that the post layout appears as desired.
