Foliowick turns your blog into the journal: a magazine-style home for reviews, interviews and reading notes.
Give the journal its own page
- Create two pages, for example Home and Journal.
- Go to Settings → Reading, choose A static page, set Homepage to Home and Posts page to Journal.
Your bookshop is then the front page, and articles live on the Journal page. The demo stores can set this for you (the Use the demo Home page as the front page and The Journal for posts option).
The journal page
The journal page has a masthead, then your newest article as a lead story and the rest in a magazine grid. The homepage’s The reading journal section shows your three latest articles.
Articles
A single article is set like a literary magazine: a kicker, the title, a standfirst (the post’s excerpt), a byline with the author and date, a wide featured image, the text at a comfortable reading width, its tags, the author’s note and more from the journal.
Write a short Excerpt for each article: it becomes the standfirst under the title.
Editorial pages
For an “Our story” or “Visit us” page set like a feature, edit the page, open Template in the sidebar and choose Page: editorial story. It shows an eyebrow, an oversized title, the page excerpt as a standfirst, the featured image and the content in a reading column.
Page: full width, no title is there for pages you build entirely from blocks.
