Hey beehiiv crew!

🗞 Newspaper layout

As an alternative to our sleek default web layout, we're introducing Newspaper as a layout option.

Just visit your Website Settings and choose "Newspaper" as the selected layout to try it on for yourself.

And remember under Website Styles in your settings you're able to update the Theme of your site to change the background color to be light, dark, or any secondary color of your choosing.

📌 Featured posts

With the introduction of the newspaper layout you may be wondering how to keep your top performing and most important posts pinned to the top...

With Featured posts you can select up to 3 posts, order them accordingly, and pin them to the most prominent positions of your website.

You're able to seamlessly update and reorder your featured posts:

• Within your Website Settings

• From your post index page

• While creating or editing an individual post

And you don't need to utilize the new newspaper layout for featured posts, we've also introduced them to our Default layout as well.
