 * Hi there, I am trying to set my template up in Affinity and have a question about
   the panels. I’ve been looking for quite some time but don’t see anything relevant.
 * I’ve set my main page up as a static page with the first panel as a “welcome/
   about me” and then I want my next panel to be the blog. From what I can tell,
   it should be that the blog panel has a post or two or maybe at least a LINK to
   the blog — but there is nothing in the preview.
 * My blog page is set to “blog” and all of my posts are under that – so for example
   when I go to mysite.com/blog I get all of my posts – and the links in the customiser
   appear to be exactly that but there is no link when I preview my site.
 * Thoughts? Thanks!

 * It’s not possible to put the blog in one of the panels, because it’s not a static
   page. Only static pages can be set as a panel. When you create a “dummy” static
   page for your posts in WordPress, that page is just a placeholder and can’t be
   used in the same way as a regular static page.
 * You could try adding a shortcode to display your latest posts in a page that 
   you then set as a panel. The Display Posts plugin is something you could try 
   for that: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/)

 * Thanks [@zoonini](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) 🙂 … I think 
   I will search for a different theme!
