Help with Custom Blog Page Template

[RainbowSteph]

Tried posting this and it didn't show up... so if it shows up twice, my apologies

I would like to create a page with text on top with a single full blog post underneath.

I followed the instructions

Blog Page Content

I added a new custom field, using query_args as the name, and use and then typed the cat id

This only partially provided a solution. Yes it does show top text and pulls the post from the single category
http://annrusnak.com/weekly-webinar/

The post is only a snippet not the full post. Since I use the blog template for the article category, I know more snippets will show with future posts added to the category.

What can I do so only one post shows at a time and it's the full post not a snippet?

Thanks

Hi there,

Are you wanting the *same* text block at the top of all single blog posts? If so, something like this might be a better approach:

But instead of adding the content after post, you'd want it before the post, so use

genesis_before_post (if you don't have HTML5 enabled)
genesis_before_entry (if you DO have HTML5 enabled)

NOT

genesis_after_post_content

Cheers,
Carrie
