Introducing Craft Blog
Craft Blog is a JNews Classic WordPress demo for DIY bloggers and craft tutorial publishers. It covers paper crafts, beadwork, decoration, kids' projects and practical DIY and uses a script-logo homepage with a large project hero and pale accent areas. This gives you a starting point for presenting your own content in the same publishing style.
Explore the live homepage and its article navigation to judge how your headline length, story images and category labels would fit. The preview contains sample content; replace it with your own material after import.
Who this template is for
Craft Blog suits DIY bloggers and craft tutorial publishers who publish paper crafts, beadwork, decoration, kids’ projects and practical DIY. Choose this template when a script-logo homepage with a large project hero and pale accent areas matches the way you want readers to explore your content. Plan your own topic structure and publishing schedule around the sections you actually need.
Homepage and article layouts
The homepage uses a script-logo homepage with a large project hero and pale accent areas. Its content collections include DIY Project, Kids Project, Paper Craft and Decoration. These areas let you organise paper crafts, beadwork, decoration, kids' projects and practical DIY into distinct entry points for readers.
Open a complete example article alongside the homepage to assess the reading layout and navigation. The reviewed page also shows social sharing controls, previous/next story navigation and related stories. Check it with your typical text length and image proportions before choosing the demo.
