How to structure a blog page, by the numbers

The questions a team asks when it rebuilds a blog, answered from the 447 index pages, category pages and posts here. Where the strongest 89 and the weakest 89 disagree, that gap is the answer.

What goes on a post card?

  • A picture on 91% of the cards
  • A date on 57%
  • An author name on 43%
  • A summary line on 49% of the cards, and a reading time on 35% of blog pages

Should the index feature one post?

77% give one post a bigger card or a spot above the feed. Pick the post that best answers what the blog is for, because a flat feed tells a first-time reader that everything on it is equally worth their time.
