Personal blog homepage
A publication homepage with a personal introduction, curated stories and a topic index. The editable story cards are deliberately manual, not an automatic feed.
Scroll within the preview to see every section. The copied blocks, shown with a neutral baseline. Your theme controls fonts and widths.
Use this layout in WordPress
- Copy the blocks and paste into an empty location in a draft page. If they appear as plain text, paste using the editor’s Code editor, then return to Visual editor.
- Replace all sample text and example.com links. Replace demo images through Media Library; remote image URLs do not create local attachments.
- Use List View to select the outer Group and inner blocks. Review colors, spacing, headings and button links.
- Preview on desktop and mobile before publishing. For a header or footer, paste into the appropriate template part.
These are page-content layouts. Site Editor templates control surrounding views such as posts and archives. The layout includes one H1; avoid a duplicate title from the surrounding theme template.
Sections included
- Introduction
- Featured articles
- Topics
- About the author
Why the arrangement works
- A short introduction establishes the publication topic.
- A curated feature makes a deliberate starting point.
- Topics and a biography explain the editorial scope.
Customize the starting point
- Use your theme’s readable article font and a restrained heading scale.
- Replace manual story links regularly, or build a core Query Loop for an automatic list.
- Link topic descriptions to existing substantial archives only.
- The layout contains one H1. Use a page template that does not display a second page title, or change the pasted heading level.
- Replace every fictional name, price, quote and example.com link before publication.
On smaller screens
Story sections stack with the lead first. Avoid a long introductory paragraph before the first story.
Accessibility checks
Check heading order, link destinations, image alt text and contrast after customization. Core Columns stack; verify keyboard navigation in your own theme.
Theme defaults affect the final appearance. The live preview is rendered from the copied markup with a neutral baseline and does not promise pixel-identical results across themes.
