Introducing Classic Blog
Classic Blog is a JNews Classic WordPress demo for personal bloggers and lifestyle storytellers. It covers travel, fashion, beauty and DIY stories and uses a script-logo masthead and black-and-gold navigation above a wide beach-image hero. This gives you a starting point for presenting your own content in the same publishing style.
Explore the live homepage and its article navigation to judge how your headline length, story images and category labels would fit. The preview contains sample content; replace it with your own material after import.
Who this template is for
Classic Blog suits personal bloggers and lifestyle storytellers who publish travel, fashion, beauty and DIY stories. Choose this template when a script-logo masthead and black-and-gold navigation above a wide beach-image hero matches the way you want readers to explore your content. Plan your own topic structure and publishing schedule around the sections you actually need.
Homepage and article layouts
The homepage uses a script-logo masthead and black-and-gold navigation above a wide beach-image hero. Its content collections include About and Categories. These areas let you organise travel, fashion, beauty and DIY stories into distinct entry points for readers.
Follow the article links in the live preview to assess the detail-page experience. For this design, pay particular attention to headline length, story images and category labels and the route from a collection to an individual article.
