Blog Listing page as home page

[Mitchell8]

Hi everyone! Thank you in advance for your feedback.

I am new to Hubspot and am currently testing on a free account before I purchase a paid subscription.

I downloaded a free template "Atlas by Kalunji".

Really like the template but I am noticing one issue.

The Blog Listing Page template displays recent Blog Posts in a clean module that frames the blog posts nicely.

The Website template pages, however, do not frame Blog Posts this same way. I am using the RSS module because I dont see the same Blog Post module that the Blog Listing Page has and the RSS module shows all the same info but with a less appealing CSS.

I am not savvy enough to edit the template code to fix this so I am trying to figure out if I just ignore the website templates entirely and only use the Blog Listing Page template as my websites home page and point other website pages to Landing Pages from the Blog Listing Page header.

Is there any downside to not using the website templates and instead, running a website with the Blog Listing Page as the home page?
