# How to Add Blog Posts 1 to the Craft Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/craft/add-blog-posts-1/ — Section Shop, 164 free native Shopify sections. Install: https://apps.shopify.com/section-shop

The latest posts of a blog as cards: photo, date, title, an excerpt and a read-more link, two to four per row. On an article page it leaves the current post out, so it reads as "read next". This guide shows how to add the Blog Posts 1 section to the Craft theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Craft's code. Craft is a free theme by Shopify, known for craftsmanship feel, warm minimalism — and content & extras like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Blog Posts 1 fits Craft

Instagram feeds, blog highlights, galleries and handy utilities that round out your storefront. On Craft, Blog Posts 1 slots in like any built-in section: it inherits the theme's fonts by default, picks up your color choices in the editor, and lives alongside Craft's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

## Steps

1. **Install Section Shop (free)** — Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Craft setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “Blog Posts 1” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Content & Extras category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Craft theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Craft uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Craft theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Blog Posts 1” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Craft font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does Blog Posts 1 work with the Craft theme?

Yes. Craft is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Blog Posts 1 installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Craft's theme editor as “SShop:Blog Posts 1”, alongside the theme's own sections.

### Will Blog Posts 1 match Craft's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Craft's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

### Is Blog Posts 1 free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Blog Posts 1 is free, like every section in the 164-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Craft theme and keeps working.
