Xidipity WordPress Theme Knowledge Base Template Content Header Image

Excerpt list mimics the blog summary functionality. In addition to the excerpt, the featured image is displayed with other key elements like categories, tags, and author. The template is very useful in the circumstance where a static page is used as the front page and the desire is to display featured blog posts.
