🚀 What You’ll Learn in This Video
In this tutorial, we go through the entire workflow of creating a professional blog system in Divi 5. You’ll learn how to:

1. Create a Custom Blog Page Layout
We start by designing a blog overview page using the Divi 5 Builder. Instead of using the default WordPress blog layout, you’ll learn how to:

Add a blog module
Control how many posts are shown
Choose which elements to display (featured image, excerpt, title, pagination)
Adjust typography using global styles
Improve spacing and layout for better readability
Style images and hover effects
Create a clean, modern blog grid

2. Import Demo Blog Posts (Optional)
If you don’t have blog posts yet, I’ll show you how to:

Import demo content
Export posts from another website
Quickly create content to design with
This is super useful when building client websites or demo projects.

3. Build a Custom Blog Post Template with Divi 5 Theme Builder
Instead of designing every blog post manually, we use the Divi Theme Builder to create a global blog post template. This means every blog post will automatically follow the same layout and design.

You’ll learn how to:
Create a custom post template for all blog posts
Use dynamic content for:
Post title
Featured image
Post content
Author name
Publish date
Excerpt
Control spacing, typography, and layout
Make your blog posts look consistent and professional

4. Create a Sticky Sidebar for Affiliate Links or Ads
If you want to monetize your blog, this part is gold.
We create a sticky sidebar that stays visible while people scroll. Perfect for:
Affiliate banners
Advertisements
Lead magnets
Promotions
You’ll learn how to:
Create sticky elements in Divi 5
Control sticky limits so elements don’t scroll too far
Use groups to avoid layout glitches
Create short tracking links with redirects
Track clicks on affiliate links

5. Improve Readability & Design with Global Styles
We apply global typography and spacing so that:

Headings look consistent
Body text is easy to read
Images get rounded corners
Line height improves readability
The website looks modern and clean
This makes your website feel premium and professionally designed.

6. Customize the Comments Section
The default Divi comments layout looks very “Divi”. In this tutorial, I show you how to:
Replace the default comment layout
Import a custom comments module
Style comments to match your website
Improve trust and engagement

7. Add Related Blog Posts Automatically
To increase page views and session duration, we add related blog posts below each article. This helps with:

SEO
User engagement
Lower bounce rates
More ad and affiliate clicks

8. Prepare for Advanced Features (Future Tutorials)
I also explain how you can later add:
Reading time
Advanced metadata
Custom fields
More dynamic blog information
This tutorial is part of a bigger Divi 5 series, so you can keep expanding your website with more advanced features later.
