    It depends on what you mean by “multiple clickable links.” By default most blog themes show you your latest posts somewhere on the front page… and the title to those posts are clickable. So you must want something other than that. Are you wanting the blog post list on your front page to be reduced to nothing but the title of the blog post… so each blog post title just sort stack into a list on your front page?

    If so do something like this.
    a.) Create a page (not a blog post).. a page.
    b.) On that page click the plus symbol to add a block. Scroll through the block options for one of the blocks that shows “latest blog posts”.
    c.) Select that. You won’t see much except a grey box saying that the latest posts will go there.
    d.) On the right hand menu… you can change the settings of how those posts look… and you can limit the number of lines of text that follow the title of each post (set it to like zero lines of text)… and that should create a sort of list effect.
    e.) Save that page.
    f.) Go set THAT page as your home page… rather than whatever is currently your home page.

    Now… each blog you wrote WILL show up on your home page… but it will be a page with a “block” that just shows the titles of the blog posts in a sort of list format.

    That is basically what I am using on my site theology.news but I’ve elected to have 2 or 3 lines of text after each blog post title RATHER THAN no text at all.

    Hi @betaange, no problem — we’re happy to help. I see right now you have one post, and if you click the title it goes to the post.

    Is that what you mean, or are you hoping for a menu to specific posts or categories?

    Since the category menu is a popular option, here’s tutorial on how to do that:

    In short though, you’d just create posts in a few categories, then create a menu and add links to it.
