What a good quote always includes
Three things to ask before you hire anyone, and the answers worth hearing.
Library
Blog card
A post: image, category, title carrying the link, excerpt, date and reading time. Built for loops: map its props from a posts loop and every post renders the same way; the whole card is the click target.

What a good quote always includes
Three things to ask before you hire anyone, and the answers worth hearing.
What you can build with it
A blog archive fed by a posts loop. A row of three latest posts on a home page. Related posts at the end of an article.
Props
image (image URL); alt (text); category (text); title (text); excerpt (text); date (text, shown as written); datetime (text, ISO for the time element); readTime (text); href (link); layout (select: stacked, horizontal); size (select: medium, small)
States shown
Hover and focus-within (lift, image scales, arrow slides); keyboard focus ring on the card. Reduced motion: no lift, no scale.
How to change it
Content and options are 11 props in the component's settings panel. Colour, type, spacing and radius follow your Automatic.css settings, so a change to the site's palette or scale changes this too. For anything else, edit the classes in the Style Manager, starting with .blog-card, .blog-grid, .null.
ACSS tokens used
white, neutral-ultra-light, text-dark, text-dark-muted, primary-dark, h4, text-s, text-xs, space-xs, space-s, space-m, radius, box-shadow-1, box-shadow-2, focus tokens, transition
ACSS requirements
ACSS 4 defaults. In a loop, map title, excerpt, permalink, featured image and date from the post.
