Journal

The Journal section highlights the latest articles from a Shopify blog: one large featured article, with the next ones beside it. It's ideal for behind-the-scenes stories, artisan profiles or care tips.

Where to add it

Any template (except the Overlays group)

Settings

The link ("View all" by default) goes to the blog page. The heading defaults to "From the blog".

Layout

• On desktop, the first article takes a large column on the left, spanning the full height of the articles stacked on the right. Its image ends on the same line as the image of the last article beside it, whatever the length of the texts.
• With a single article, it takes the full width, image and text side by side.
• On phones, the articles stack.

Each article shows its image (landscape format), its title and its date. Only the featured article shows an excerpt: the excerpt entered in the article, or failing that its first 28 words.

Special cases

• No blog selected: placeholder articles are shown, including on your online store.
• Blog with no articles: the message "This blog has no articles yet. They appear here once one is published." appears instead, including on your online store.
• Article without an image: the article is shown without an image frame.

To manage articles, go to ContentBlog posts in your Shopify admin, and see the Blog and articles page.
