## Add

```sh
npx @ava-ui/apogee add blog/simple-left-aligned-02
```

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](https://apogee.avaui.dev/docs/blog-sections#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).
