Article List Page
The Article List Page pulls together all articles with the same categories and/or tags and aggregates them on a page.
Note: You’ll need to create article content first, in order to have content display on the article list page.
For each article, the system displays:
- An image thumbnail.
- An article title linking to the full article page.
- An article summary.
Note: If you don't add a summary for each article, the Article List Page will display the article's first 100 words. Generally, that's too long for an attractive display. It's much better to provide a shorter blurb. Edit each article individually. Click the Summary tab. and enter a short, pithy summary of the article.
