Quick Answer
How do you add a featured post to a BizStackPro blog?
Open your blog inside Sites → Blogs, enter the blog editor, and add the Featured Post element to the page.
Select the post you want to highlight, customize the displayed title, image, excerpt, and layout, then publish the updated blog.
What Is a Featured Blog Post?
A featured post is a blog article that receives more prominent placement than standard posts.
It can be used to highlight cornerstone content, evergreen resources, campaign-related articles, important announcements, or posts that support a current business goal.
Without intentional featured placement, valuable content can move down the blog feed as newer posts are published. Featuring a post keeps it easier to find.
Feature posts strategically
A featured post should guide visitors toward useful or important content. Avoid choosing a post only because it is the newest article.
