Changing your blog style is not just for layout, but also for what style of featured image you want. You get different blog styles with the pro version:
Change Your Blog Style
- Go to Appearance >> Customize >> Blog Options
- Find the “Blog Style” setting and make your choice
- Click “Save & Publish” at the top of the column.
Single Post Layout
In addition to the blog’s home style and layout, you also get the option to select the layout for your full post view — this is when you click on a “Read More” link and view the post in full.
- Go to Appearance >> Customize >> Blog Options
- Find the “Single Post Layout” settings
- Click Save & Publish
Blog Post Summaries
The blog post summaries are the “intros” that you see when you first go to a blog. This is normally recognized when you see each summary with a title, perhaps a featured image, and then the “Read More” button or link. Post summaries are only part of a full post and will only show on the blog’s home page.
With InstaBlog Pro, you get a couple of options to display your summaries:
- Content - This is going to give you a summary that can include formatting, images, and a “Read More” button.
- Excerpt - This gives you a set number of words that keeps each summary consistent; no formatting, no images, but will give you a “Read More” button as well.
