How the blog template works

This sample verifies the locked T8 layout: left sidebar (TOC, lead form, search, related posts, services), reading time in the meta row, author box, newsletter form, share icons, and the bottom related grid.
The sidebar renders on the left
On desktop the sidebar sits left of this article at a 68ch reading measure. On mobile it stacks below the article, never above it.
The TOC builds itself
Because this post has three H2 sections, the table of contents renders automatically from the headings with anchor links.
Real posts replace this one
In the pipeline, posts are written MD-first by uc-v64 from approved briefs, humanized to 80+, gated, and published. The autoblog engine uses this exact template for its 12-month calendar.
Frequently asked questions
