Hi Mohamed, Obviously, I am +1 for the new default, since it is also my proposal. Regarding the image for the introductory blog post, I would use a more photo like an image, to be more demonstrative, illustrating blogging, writing, office or whatever, maybe with an X in it somewhere. Be careful about the copyrights of the image, of course.

Currently when a user creates/edit a blog he has the possibility to select the layout of the blog posts, 2 layouts are available FTM: the Calendar layout (default) and the image layout. The image layout uses an image thumbnail in order to allow a more visual and appealing display of the blog posts this is why an image selector was added to the blog post form. Because the default layout is 'Calendar' the image selector on the blog post form can be confusing for the user because the uploaded image doesn't appear anywhere. This proposal is about changing the default blog posts layout from 'Calendar' to 'image' in order to avoid the confusion. I propose to: - Change the default post layout to 'image' layout for new blogs - Change the layout of the default Blog to 'image' layout - Add an image to the introduction blog post created when installing the blog app. Find attached some examples of images that can be used on the introduction post. - On the blog post form add a short description to the image selector to explain the objective of the image. *Introduction blog post images* *1) * *2)* *3) * *4)* ** WDYT? Thanks, Mohamed
