Changing the layout of your feed

Customize the arrangement of your posts in the feed to perfectly suit your vision. Choose from a variety of options, including post and image size, placement, and loading style, to create a visually stunning and cohesive blog. 
The available design settings depend on the layout you choose. Additionally, the design settings may differ between your All Posts feed and Category feed.
