  Hi! I’m making a magazine-type blog with not much content yet, and I was wondering how I can make my blog a lot like the preview blog in colinear (the one with the related feature content).

  This is what I’m aiming for: https://snag.gy/7JFxhi.jpg

  And this is what I’m stuck with: https://snag.gy/s4Opqm.jpg

  Can anyone help me? :( My blog is new.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  You need to add images to make it look like the one in Colinear preview blog.

  To add Header image
  Go to My Site(s) → Customize(Beside the Themes option) or just click here: https://wordpress.com/customize/. This will open the site Customizer.
  2. On the sidebar of the Customizer click on the Header image → Add new image or choose from suggested header image.

  To add featured images to your post
  Click on Edit button and go to Post Settings → Featured Image on the right side corner

  To add images to your posts in between
  Please find below the screen shot of editor
  https://cloudup.com/cJeVWWsqyUs

  Click + sign (insert content) on the top leftmost corner of your editor and select Add Media→Add New Image

  To add Widgets on the right side as show in in Colinear theme preview
  Go to My Site(s) → Customize(Beside the Themes option) or just click here: https://wordpress.com/customize/. This will open the site Customizer.
  2. On the sidebar of the Customizer click on the Widget → Choose the location of webpage you would like to insert the widget.

  Hope this helps.

  Thank you.

  Hi,
  To answer your question more precisely
  Go to My Site(s) → Customize(Beside the Themes option) or just click here: https://wordpress.com/customize/. This will open the site Customizer.
  2. On the sidebar of the Customizer click on the Widget → Choose the location of webpage you would like to insert the widget. When you insert widgets on sidebar left or sidebar right, you will get a three column layout as shown in Colinear theme preview.

  Thank you.

  @iamrishan Thank you! I’ve also decided to use a html widget instead. But do you have any idea what code I can use in the html to show my featured posts?

  What you will have to do is to use the Display Posts Shortcode in the widget and then use the “tags” argument to limit it to the featured post tag.
