# How to Add Blog Posts 1 to the Refresh Theme

> Source: https://section-shop.com/theme-guides/refresh/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 Refresh theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Refresh's code. Refresh is a free theme by Shopify, known for editorial layouts and generous whitespace — 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 Refresh

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

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

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

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