# How to Add Blog Posts 1 to the Origin Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/origin/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 Origin theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Origin's code. Origin is a free theme by Shopify, known for bold type and product-first structure — 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 Origin

Instagram feeds, blog highlights, galleries and handy utilities that round out your storefront. On Origin, 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 Origin'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 Origin 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 Origin theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Origin uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Origin 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 Origin 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 Origin theme?

Yes. Origin 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 Origin's theme editor as “SShop:Blog Posts 1”, alongside the theme's own sections.

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

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Origin'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 Origin theme and keeps working.
