# How to Add Blog Posts 1 to the Studio Theme

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 Studio theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Studio's code. Studio is a free theme by Shopify, known for gallery grids and art-forward presentation — 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 Studio

Instagram feeds, blog highlights, galleries and handy utilities that round out your storefront. For Studio specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: limited social-proof options, and Blog Posts 1 fills that gap while inheriting Studio's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. The polaroid-style gallery section gives Studio stores a personal, behind-the-scenes feel stock grids can’t.

## 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 Studio 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 Studio theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Studio uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Studio 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 Studio 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 Studio theme?

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

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

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