How to change from site to blog

  • Unknown's avatar

    I would like my site to be a blog. At the moment it looks more like a site, the themes I am offered are all sites, rather than plain blogs.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there, the only difference between a “site” and a blog, is the focus. Websites typically use static pages to display their content, whereas a blog will be focused mainly on posts. Right now I see you have your posts showing on your main page, which is typical for a blog, and I see you have the recent posts, archives and categories widgets in the sidebar, which is also typical for a blog.

    All of our themes here can be used for either blogs or static websites. I’ve taken the liberty of filtering our Theme Showcase for the following criteria:
    Subject: blog
    Layout: Responsive
    Columns: Two
    Free/Premium: Free

    There are a number of more traditional looking blog layouts in that listing of 72 such as the following.

    Misty Lake
    Zoren
    Capoverso
    Origin
    Silesia
    Reddle
    Quintus
    Lovecraft
    Twenty Eleven
    Truly Minimal
    Twenty Sixteen
    Twenty Fifteen
    Colinear
    Able

    If you can let me know what you are looking for, I would be happy to help narrow things down for you.

    Hello, many thanks for your reply. After struggling for a few weeks I removed the static pages somehow, and I managed to make it look like a traditional blog by changing the theme.

    I will also try the themes you suggest. Thanks for the brilliant reply and list.
