This week in the deco.cx Admin: the Blog App now supports Sections inside blog posts. You can embed product shelves, product cards, or any component from your site directly into your blog content.
The Blog App previously accepted only Markdown content. If you were writing a post about a product launch, a seasonal collection, or a buying guide, the post could describe the products but couldn't show them. There was no way to include a product shelf, a product card, or any interactive element inline with the text.
The Blog App now supports an array of Sections alongside text content. A Section is the same building block you already use on your site's pages. Any Section available in your project can be placed inside a blog post: product shelves, product cards, mini PDPs, callouts, timelines, image galleries, or custom components you've built yourself.
Run deno task update in your project to get the latest Blog App with Sections support. After updating, you can place any Section from your site inside a blog post, just like you would on a regular page.
The most common use case is embedding products directly in blog posts. If your site has a product shelf Section or a product card Section, you can add it to a post and configure it the same way you would on any other page. The Section pulls live data from your catalog, so prices, availability, and images stay up to date.
This is useful for content like buying guides, new arrival announcements, or comparison posts. Instead of linking out to a product page and hoping the reader clicks through, you can show the product right where you're talking about it. A post titled "5 running shoes for beginners" can include the actual product cards for those five shoes, with add-to-cart buttons, between the paragraphs that describe each one.
These changes are live now in the deco.cx Admin. If you have feedback, reach out on Discord.
