Choose a template

A template sets your blog's layout: how the homepage lists posts, where the menu sits, and how a post page is arranged. Your content stays the same when you change template, so you can switch at any time.

The templates

Click a name to open a live example.

Template	Best for
Atlas	A full-width grid of posts, with no hero image and no sidebar.
Atrium	Soft panels on a plain background, with the lead post's image running to the panel edge.
Digest	A plain list: every post is one row of the same size, with no featured slot.
Folio	Large, equal pictures two across, with titles in a display serif. The roundest template.
Kiosk	A centred hero with a call to action, search, topic pills, a lead post, then featured and all posts.
Signal	A news-style front page: a masthead, one lead story, then the rest, with topics on the left.

The Choose a template window, with light and dark previews of each template

Every template comes in light and dark versions, and uses your own colours and fonts.

Change your template

Open your blog's dashboard.
Go to Settings > Design.
Click Change template.
Click Preview to see a template with sample content, or Use template to choose it.
Click Deploy. The new template is applied on your next deploy.

You can also change it in the Pick your template step of the setup guide.

Older templates

Blogs created before the current templates keep their template. It stays selected in your settings, but older templates are no longer offered to new blogs.

Build your own

To control the design completely, you can build and upload your own template. See Custom templates.
