Adding a blog page. Is there a way to add a blog page to this theme?

[Bill Robbins]

Scott,

Great question. This is actually a bit easier with the most recent version of the theme that we released this week. Here’s what to do:

1. Go to the Pages section and add a page that you’d like to use as your blog and publish it.
2. Next go to the settings section and select reading.
3. Here you can choose to have your front page displays a static page.
4. Then you can select a page for your home page as well as a page for your posts (that will be your blog).
5. Update your settings.

If you’re not using the most recent version of the theme, you can still add a blog page. The easiest way to do that is to create a master category for your posts. Then add all posts that you’d like to include in your blog to that category. Lastly add that category to your navigation. That will create a blog “page” for you.

Let me know if you have any questions or trouble,
Bill

OK, But here is my issue, The homepage is currently a default page that i have no idea what it is called. Also, now that I have selected the bean blog page as my posts page when I click the link it goes no where. here is the url…www.caribe-beans.com

Scott,

No problem. Since you’re using the built in home page, you’ll want to use the category method described above.

If you run into trouble, let me know,

OK, Bill one last thing then. How do I set up a margin or buffer so that the posts are moved down a bit http://caribe-beans.com/?cat=4

I know this is a simple issue in the style sheet but I can’t identify it.

Scott,

Try adding this to your style.css file and see if that doesn’t help:

.single h1.post-title,
.archive h2.post-title {
	float: none;
	padding-top: 20px;
}
