What Stackable Blocks to Use for Your Blog

Last Updated on June 4, 2021

A great way to share your thoughts and other useful information, a blog is one of the most prolific new ways of sharing great content. Here is a list of useful blocks to easily build a great-looking blog.

Blogging can pose its own unique challenges – from the initial set up, producing content, increasing your number of users, retaining their interest and converting them to returning readers.

Stackable can help you meet blogging challenges head on. Stackable blocks offer an easy way to assist you in attracting users, enticing them to read what you wrote and making a great impression so they would come back to see more of your content.

Blocks for Your Content

The following are great for showcasing the message that you want to send across. They also help in smoothing out the flow of your articles and highlight important points.

1. Posts block

The posts block, as the name suggests, is the perfect block to use to make your blog stand out. This block gives great options for showing an overview of your latest posts on your front page. Easily choose the details to be displayed for your posts by tweaking the block settings (date of publication, author, category, feature image, etc.).

2. Blockquote block

The blockquote block is meant to highlight important excerpts that might otherwise get drowned out in lengthy articles. This block also has the option to use design elements that complement your message.

Mt. Mayon, the volcano with the perfect cone, together with its surrounding landscape, was declared a national park on July 20, 1938.

3. Icon List block

The icon list block can be used to draw the eye of your reader to important points in your article. It is great for long articles with salient points that you want to highlight or summaries at the end. Choose from different icons types (check, plus, arrow, cross or star) and icon colors.
