Configuring the blog posts views
While in the start screen of the Content Viz macro choose Blog posts. You will be forwarded to the macro configuration specifically designed for blog posts. The sidebar on the left enables you to apply filters/select blog posts. Based on your configuration you will be receiving a live preview.

Views
The blog posts content type supports two views:
News Grid
This view type is specifically designed to gain your audiences' attention. It is suited best for your Confluence or space dashboard. All blog posts will be displayed in a card layout and be sorted chronologically.
BILD
Each card contains metadata about the blog post:
Image (header image of the blog post)
Title
Date (of creation)
Author
Space
Label
If no header image is selected in the blog post a default picture will be loaded.
List
This view promotes the visibility of your blog posts without taking too much space.
BILD
Depending on the view type you select the left sidebar offers you more or less options.
Layout
This option is only available when selecting the News Grid view.
There are several column layouts available. After choosing a layout, you can easily switch between the options.
BILD
Dynamic and manual selection
Depending on your use case you can choose to display content dynamically or manually. By default the Dynamic option is selected so all available blog posts on your Confluence site are displayed in a chronological order, unless you apply filters. The main advantage of the dynamic view is that the rendered blog posts are automatically updated when you either change the filter or new blog posts that match your filter are created.
The Manual option allows you to cherry-pick from a list of already existing blog posts.
Regardless of your selected option, users will only be able to see blog posts they have the default viewing permission for.
Options for dynamic configuration
Filters
The view from which spaces are listed. Available options are:
(blank) - All spaces in your site, with tabs.
all – All spaces in your Confluence site.
category – Spaces grouped according to space categories.
favorite – Spaces which you have added to My Spaces.
new – spaces created within the last 7 days.

Options for manual configuration
When selecting the manual option the filters in the left sidebar are substituted with a blog post picker. By clicking on the input field you can search for existing blog posts.
BILD
Selected blog posts will appear below the input field in the left sidebar. Additionally, they are displayed on in the preview area based on your selected view. You can add up to x blog posts manually and remove them from your preview by hovering on them in the left sidebar. You can also re-order them at any time.
BILD
Pagination
To further limit the displayed results when using the Dynamic option you can specify how many blog posts should be displayed in the macro.
BILD
Additionally, you can choose to paginate the results in three ways:
Load more button: A button that enables users to load more content is displayed below your blog posts.
Carousel: A slider that has to be triggered by the user manually is displayed below the blog posts
Disabled: Users cannot load older blog posts.
