Complete your blog with essential elements
Building on our recent blog hero and story patterns, we’ve now added the final pieces needed for a complete blog setup. These new elements work with the MaxiBlocks Go theme for professional blog post pages.
4 Blog single templates
Our new single post templates provide complete layouts for your individual blog posts:
These templates provide different layout options for your blog posts, with features like featured images, author information, content containers, and comment sections. They’re designed to be used with the WordPress Site Editor, making it easy to create a consistent look across all your posts.
4 Author bio patterns
Showcase your post authors with these professional bio sections:
These author bio patterns help establish credibility and create a connection between your readers and writers. Each pattern includes space for an author image, name, brief description, and optional social links. They’re perfect for blogs with multiple contributors or single-author sites wanting to build a personal brand.
2 Pagination designs
Help readers navigate between posts with these pagination patterns:
Our pagination designs provide clear navigation for readers to move through multiple pages of posts. These patterns integrate seamlessly with WordPress pagination functionality while matching your site’s design aesthetic.
2 Comment section layouts
Complete your blog with stylish comment sections:
These comment section designs encourage reader engagement while maintaining your site’s visual consistency. They provide a structured layout for comments, replies, and the comment form itself.
