(Still building framework, notes below)

The BLOG MODULE automatically displays 3 entries per row and it doesn’t have the option to scroll. I don’t think you can change the amount of columns. You can specify how many posts per “page”. I have it set to 100. If you set it to lower you will get “Older Entries” navigation on the bottom of the page.  Under the “Content -> Elements” we can turn the following on and off: pagination for a “News” page, date, show image, show excerpt etc. You can tell it what category or categories to display under “Content – Content to Display”. The Date Data is coming from the Published Date Field from the post. If you leave the excerpt field blank in the post then the excerpt used on the news page will automatically come from body copy and seems to be capped at 37 words. Not sure if this 37 word limit can be edited somewhere. If you use the excerpt field in the post, then that will be shown instead. I am setting up so we don’t use the excerpt field because it simplifies the process when creating a post and is one less step to complete. If you don’t want a post to show you can set it to “draft” OR set the category to uncategorized.
