# Blog

Footer Block Settings

Using a **Blog** link, Palo Alto introduces a navigation menu to its three latest posts.

The 'layout' setting here allows you to switch between showing blogs or showing tags. The tags will lead to pre-filtered pages that display all blog posts matching the tag (from the selected blog).
