Every piece of copy is a prop, with the sample copy as its default. Pass yours, or null to hide a part; see copy is props.
This copies the block to src/components/apogee/blocks/blog/ with everything it uses: Button, Grid, PostCard, Section, SectionHeader. It slots into any page, such as a home page or a product page. Swap the posts array for your content collection. Use Copy code above to paste it instead.
Accessibility
- Each post is one link: the title stretches over the card, and the author, category and tag links sit above it and stay clickable.
- The decorative arrow and the images are hidden from screen readers (their alt is empty because the title already names the post).
