Blogs: Updated author layout

August 11, 2026

Blogs now support a new author layout that highlights author information in a modern, professional format so readers can better connect with the person behind the content.

What’s new

  1. Choose between two author layouts

    Select the author experience that best fits your brand:

    Modern preview (new)

    • Card-based design
    • Clearer visual hierarchy
    • Designed to improve reader engagement
    • Default layout for newly created blog posts

    Classic preview

    • The existing author layout
    • Available if you prefer the current experience
  2. Enhanced author profiles

    Author details are presented in a more structured format, including:

    • Profile image
    • Author name
    • Designation or role
    • Author bio
    • Social media links
    • Email address

    This helps readers quickly understand the author’s background and expertise.

  3. Expandable “Read More” for long bios

    Long author bios are condensed by default. Readers can select Read More to expand the full description without disrupting the blog layout.

  4. Responsive on all devices

    The author section is optimized for desktop, tablet, and mobile.

How to use

  • Go to Sites → Blogs
  • Open Blog Post Settings

  • Configure author details, social links, and email information
  • Publish your blog
