+====== Blog ======
+Blogging functionality was added to The Hort's website in the summer of 2026 with an initial minimal implementation. The following items are currently supported on the blog:
+==== Blog Homepage ====
+By default, the blog homepage displays the latest post as feature at the top, followed by a list of used categories, and then the 6 next most latest posts. If more than 7 posts exists, a ''Load More'' button will display and additional posts will load on the same page upon taking that action. The ''Load More'' functionality does not utilize a plugin and is custom built into the theme code.
+==== Posts ====
+The ''Posts'' section of Wordpress are the individual blog posts. The ''Title'' field is used for title displayed on the website. The ''Featured Image'' in the right hand inspector is what is used for the thumbnail image for the post. The ''Featured Image'' is not used as the main image of the post itself for increased flexibility, allowing you to set a different image, use no image, or set your own ordering of the image within the post page. The content of the post is added below the title and, unlike with ''Pages'', no single [[columns|Column]] elements are required to restrict the content of the post to a maximum width.
+==== Categories ====
+Currently only categories are supported for adding additional metadata to posts—functionality to support ''Tags'' or ''Authors'' is not yet implemented, awaiting to see how the blog is used to best optimize those items in the future. Descriptions for the categories is supported and will display on the individual category pages. For optimal display and usability, it is recommend to restrict assigning each post to only 1 or 2 categories.
+==== Related Posts ====
+The [[https://wordpress.org/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/|Yet Another Related Posts Plugin]] is used to display the related posts on the individual post pages. The settings for this plugin can be found in ''Settings -> YARPP''.
