This opens the blog editor where you can customize your blog's design, layout, and style.

What You Can Customize

Layout Options

Control how your blog list page displays posts. Choose what information appears on each blog card — like featured images, excerpts, author names, or publish dates.

Style Elements

Customize the appearance of both your blog home page and individual blog posts. You can adjust:

  • Images — size, placement, and styling
  • Post layout — how content flows on the page
  • Tags — display and formatting
  • Headings and titles — fonts, colors, sizes
  • Descriptions — excerpt length and style
  • Author information — show or hide, formatting
  • Publish dates — format and placement

Design Elements

The blog editor gives you access to the same design tools you use for your enrollment pages:

  • Section Templates — pre-built layouts you can drop in (shared across all your Enrollio sites)
  • Global Sections — reusable sections that update across multiple pages
  • Elements — buttons, social media icons, images, progress bars, and more

Pro Tip: Use global sections for your blog header and footer. When you update them once, the changes appear across all your blog posts automatically.

Managing Blog Pages

From the blog editor, you can manage both your blog home page and individual post pages. This is where you create new posts, edit existing ones, or delete posts you no longer need.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I customize the "Next" and "Previous" buttons on my blog?

The navigation buttons between blog posts are automatically generated and can't be edited directly in the blog editor. However, you can style or hide them using custom CSS in the Advanced tab. The button text and structure cannot be changed from the visual editor.
