You can optionally set a Title to be displayed above the post content on your page.


You can choose from the following Display option:

  • Titles Only
  • Summarized Posts
  • Full Posts

You can enable feed auto-discovery so people can subscribe to this blog via an RSS feed and choose specific categories to display among those created. These will display below this check box if selected.


The Number of Posts field will let you set the number of posts that display on your page at a time - between 1 to 20, 25 or 30.


The Start at Post # field will let you set an offset to start showing posts at a position other than the very first post - between 1 to 20, 25 or 30. An example could be to create a list of blog posts showing titles only in your side bar from posts 5-10, while showing the first 5 posts in full on your main page.

An optional link to your archived posts can be created using the Display archive link for older posts check box.
