How the Blog CMS collection connects to the blog index and post pages, and how to publish your first post.

How the Blog CMS collection connects to the blog index and post pages, and how to publish your first post.

AURA Team

AURA's blog is fully CMS-powered with an index page at /blog and dynamic post pages at /blog/[slug]. Once set up, publishing a new post requires no design work — just filling in CMS fields.

The Blog collection fields

Title is the post headline and H1. Slug is the URL path — auto-generated from Title, lowercase with hyphens. Author is the writer's name. Publish Date controls chronological sorting. Cover Image is the featured image (1200x630px recommended). Category is the eyebrow label on cards. Short Description is the card summary and meta description — keep under 160 characters. Body is the full rich text content.

Adding your first post

Go to CMS → Blog → New Item. Fill in all fields. The slug generates automatically but can be edited. For the Body field, use the rich text toolbar to structure content with H2 subheadings, bold key terms, and short paragraphs. Long unbroken paragraphs perform poorly on both readability and SEO.

The /blog index page

Displays a grid of post cards pulled from the Blog collection, sorted by Publish Date descending. The CMS List component on this page has a limit — update it if you want to show more posts per page.

The blog eyebrow

The eyebrow above the blog section headline on the Homepage reads "INTELLIGENCE." This is intentional. It positions the blog as strategic thought leadership rather than a company news feed. Keep this word — it does significant brand work in three syllables.

SEO on blog posts

In Page Settings for the /blog CMS page, set the title to {{Title}} — Your Company and the description to {{Short Description}}. Framer populates these dynamically for each post, giving every article its own unique meta without manual updates.
