All your blog composition takes place in the Shopify admin, while the theme controls how your blog displays.
How to access the blog page settings
- In the theme editor (Customize), open the template selector
- Select Blogs, then Default blog

Show breadcrumbs on the blog page
Enable Show breadcrumbs to include secondary navigation to show the current location of a customer on your website and how they got there. There are multiple pages where breadcrumbs can appear on your site, but checking this setting will affect only your blog pages.
Include a sidebar
You can feature a sidebar on the right side of the blog page by enabling one or both of Show recent posts and Show tags.
Show recent posts will display links to your four latest articles in the sidebar.
Show tags will include a list of tags found throughout your blog posts to help customers find the content they're looking for.
Select a pagination style
Atlantic comes with two distinct pagination styles: Standard pagination and Jump-to-page pagination.
Standard pagination allows users only to click through pages in sequence (displaying as "Page 1 of 5" with "Previous" and "Next" links).
Jump-to-page pagination allows users to select a numbered link to the page they want (displaying links to all the pages in a collection). While you can set the pagination for your store in a few different places, this setting applies only to the pagination of your blog pages.
