Blog Posts

Blog posts are in the body content field. They do use layout builder for the final display, so they can be overridden, but the bulk of the content should be placed in teh body content field.

A note about styling on individual blog post pages:

The styling of this page is a little different from any other page. The content is set to a maximum width of 700px, regardless of screen size. The image width for images that are not floated is set to a maximum of 900px so extend beyond the width of the content.

A note about images:

An image that is by itself and is set to be centered on the page with no floating will take up 100% of the page width and will actually extend beyond the content by a bit.

If you add two images one after another that are both set to not be floating in any way, the two images will be displayed side-by side next to each other, and extending beyond the content by a bit.
