Post parts are the analogous of the editorial entities in FORGE Back Office: they are the building blocks of the posts. There are two built-in post parts:

(Text Part): It contains a text
-
(oEmbed Part): It embeds a web resource into the post
Custom Post Parts can be either coded (Post Parts) or defined through a dedicated section (No-Code Post Parts). See Set up external data sources and no-code post parts for more information about No-Code Post Parts).
Configuring a blog post
Reporters can assign tags to each post and define some properties:
- Style: Position and highlighting of the post

- Reporter: In case the post is about a match between two teams, it sets whether the reporter is writing for the away or home team
- Graphic Assets: Graphic assets that the reporter can add to the post
