Structure

This is what the Bricks Structure panel shows after you paste the template. Component instances say which component they are.

Blog · Post list
  Container
    Intro   (FBK Intro)
      Button · Primary   (FBK Button)
    Posts
      Row (query loop)
        Row · Meta
          Row · Date
          Row · Category
        Row · Text
          Row · Title
          Row · Excerpt
        Row · Photo cell
          Row · Photo
        Row · Arrow

The template also pastes a dashed note above the section, with the short version of this page. It only shows inside the builder, never on the published page — see Builder notes.

How to adjust

Every step is the same move: pick the element in the Structure panel, change its Properties.

Where are those panels?

How to adjust a template shows every one of them in a screenshot of the real builder: the Structure and Properties panels, the classes on an element, a component's style families and the field where a CSS variable goes.

The classes this element carries, in the Bricks panel.

This template's own component, with its Style group open.

1. Paste the template in Bricks first — see Copy and paste.
2. Select Intro (FBK Intro) › Properties: Eyebrow, Hide eyebrow, Title, Title level, Lead, Hide lead · Style group: Eyebrow style, Highlight, Title size, Accent line · Layout group: Alignment, Layout, Background, Spacing · Motion group: Reveal in slider.
3. Select Button · Primary (FBK Button) › Properties: Text, Link, Tone, Shadow on hover · Icon group: Icon, Icon position · Style group: Style, Size, Width, Hover effect.
4. Select Row (query loop) (query loop) › Query: post type, number of posts, order and filters.
5. Spacing, sizes, color and timing with no property of their own: the CSS variables below.

CSS variables

These are the only values in the template meant to be changed by hand. Copy the block, paste it, edit the numbers.

The Custom CSS field of this template's own element, with one of its variables as a real example.

/* «Posts» · class .fbk-bloglist */
.fbk-bloglist {
  /* Width of the date column and of the photo that appears on hover */
  --fbk-t-date: 9em;
  --fbk-t-photo: 13em;
  /* Tilt of the photo before it straightens */
  --fbk-t-tilt: 4deg;
}

Paste the block in the element's Style → CSS field (the selector is already in it), or set the same variables on the class itself to change every copy at once. The values are your framework's variables, so they follow your site: Choosing a framework.

Finish by hand

• The query loop is on Row (query loop) (Query: posts, 6 per page): change the number, order or category there. Each whole row links to its post (the title's link covers it).
• The floating photo, the title that shifts and the arrow are the class fbk-bloglist--reveal on Posts (remove it and every row shows the photo as a small thumbnail). Column widths and the tilt: --fbk-t-date, --fbk-t-photo and --fbk-t-tilt on .fbk-bloglist.
• States are in the Custom CSS: .fbk-bloglist__photo (the photo coming in), .fbk-bloglist__title and .fbk-bloglist__arrow (li:hover and li:focus-within). On tablets, touch screens and in the builder the photo is a thumbnail.

On phones

The template is designed desktop first, the Bricks default, and only changes at the two widths the library uses:

• 991px and below — .fbk-bloglist__item, .fbk-bloglist__media, .fbk-bloglist__photo, .fbk-intro.
• 767px and below — .fbk-bloglist__arrow, .fbk-bloglist__item, .fbk-bloglist__meta, .fbk-section.

Those changes live in Bricks' own breakpoint fields, so you edit them where you always do: pick the breakpoint in the toolbar and the same fields follow.

Careful with the classes shared by the whole library (fbk-section, fbk-intro, the component classes): a change there shows up in every template that uses them.

If your site's breakpoints are set up mobile first, copy the mobile-first variant of the template instead — see Copy and paste.

Accessibility

In this template, keyboard focus is visible on every interactive piece; movement is cut back when the visitor's system asks for less motion; the state screen readers need is already set (aria-hidden).

What is checked on every template, and what depends on your own palette: Accessibility.

Dark mode

With your site in dark mode this section turns dark too — the class fbk-section--auto-dark on the section does it. Remove the class to keep it light.

Its background is a modifier on the section, so you can swap it for any of the ones the template is checked with: fbk-section--light, fbk-section--dark, fbk-section--soft.
