    Hi there!
    There are a few ways to have the blog posts display on the homepage, but given that you’re using a Site Editor compatible theme, I’ll share the steps on how to set that up.

    From your dashboard.

    1. Go to Appearance > Site editor
    2. Click on the main editor area. You should see “Home” at the top. That means you’re editing the Home template.
    3. Open the list view and make sure you add a block after the last one on that template. It should be a Group block.
    4. In the editor, type /query or /blog post and add one of those blocks. Both blocks do similar things, but they have some features you may like more on one than the other. I encourage you to read more about them here:

You can show content based on category, author, or tag, display featured images or excerpts, change the text color, and more. Add the Blog Posts Block To add a Blog Posts block, click the + Block Inserter and search for “blog posts”. Click to add the block to the page

    Save the changes, and you should now be able to see the posts on the homepage. We also covered this in more detail here:

    The default homepage is the homepage design that comes with your site’s theme. This guide will show you how to find and edit the content and design of the home page. Step 1: Use the Default Homepage If your site uses a theme that supports the site editor, you can access and edit the default homepage.
