How to make the Blog as the landing page?

[schantanu]

First of all, thanks for the great theme.

I want to recreate the blog as the landing page with the Introduction at the top, similar to the following Home-Info mode:

What is the best way to achieve this?

Hi, to achieve this, you need to override the index page template in Hextra. See https://imfing.github.io/hextra/docs/advanced/customization/#custom-layouts

Specifically put layouts/index.html under your own site, and you may use https://github.com/imfing/hextra/blob/main/layouts/blog/list.html as reference.

In the future we will provide some utility shortcodes to make this much easier
