Original Description
Want to create a blog quick in Webflow? Well here is short and no-nonsense video showing you how to create a blog in the Webflow CMS. In a future video I will be covering how to allow your visitors to navigate to each blog post in a separate video.
Below the steps are to help you follow along:
1) Create your blog collection with a rich text and h1 (optional) field
2) Go to the blog CMS template page
3) Add an rich text and h1 element to the template
4) Add a class to the rich text element
5) Style your blog content section by selecting an element inside the rich text from step 4, then select all paragraphs in the style selector, and select when nested inside the class from step 4. This will ensure that the paragraph styling is unique to this rich text element on the blog page.
6) Select get text from the h1 & rich text fields created in step 1.
Then there you have it! Once these steps are done you can create your own beautiful looking blog using the Webflow designer. In case you want a head start, there are many amazing designs and components that you can copy from the Webflow community & component libraries:
