Hear about the design and build process for my new blog, as well as see some fun interactions I built for it! In this video you’ll get a look at my design file and the iterations I tried, and see how I’ve set up the Webflow CMS for my blog.
My goals for designing the blog was for it to be a good reading experience first and foremost! I didn’t want every post to rely on having a fancy feature image, and I wanted it to be super easy for me to add a new post to (so that I’d have less excuses not to publish…) Take a look at the blog design on my live site and let me know what you think!
I’d highly recommend watching this in full screen so you can better see all my settings in Webflow, although I tried to zoom in on the important stuff.

Huge thanks to Ryan and Waldo from the Webflow team for helping me figure out some of the trickier code parts! I really appreciate you. ❤️
