Creating a Blog in Evolution CMS, Part 6: Displaying Popular Posts
A lesson focused on showing popular content and making the blog surface feel more dynamic and editorially curated.
Popular-post blocks are a small feature, but they often matter a lot in blog UX because they help shape discovery and keep readers moving through the site. This lesson is worth archiving because it captures one of those practical touches that turn a basic article site into something more intentional.
It also fits naturally into Evolution CMS workflows, where editorial sections and reusable lists are often built as separate content surfaces rather than hard-coded decorations.
