As all of you might know the current blog post is just a simple rich-text which is fine for general posting. But many of our customers want a flexible solution. Like multi-column grids with different content-types like images, text, accordions/toogles ...
The only way to achive this right now is a custom module with all possible content types and pre-defined layouts and a repeater function.
It would be awesome if the blog post would get the drag&drop functionality so that every customer/user could design each blog post to his needs.
Thank you for your feedback and incredible patience here. The team is happy to announce that this feature is now available to all. We will continue to make improvements to this feature over the next few months but if you have any questions or would like to provide feedback please send me a message.
Thank you for your feedback and incredible patience here. A bit of an update here, we are currently in a small private BETA. The team is happy to announce that we will be ready for a public BETA soon for drag-and-drop functionality in the blog post editor. If you are interested in trying this out today or have any questions, feel free to send me a message.
We also want to make it clear that this beta does not currently allow reordering modules, resizing modules, or adding modules outside the rich-text area. Thanks for your patience as we work to make this feature awesome. We are looking forward to giving you all access soon.
Lot's of good comments in this thread. There are a few notable features we are either actively working on or thinking about now that will make the blog experience more friendly and flexible for content creators.
For blog posts, we are working on making it possible to insert modules into the blog post body. While this will not allow full layout customization per post, it will allow a more complex post body with any default or custom modules.
We are additionally working on making both the blog listing template (in development) and blog post template (in planning) editable within the content editor, which will make it easier for content creators to modify their blog post and listing templates (drag and drop modules, edit modules fields, etc.).
I will report back when we have any public betas on these features!
I totally agree with you. I think the CMS is really mature and especially Kevin's CLEAN THEME is great. I am a little disappointed with the blog. You have virtually no design options. I hope that there will be an update soon.

@yaisah thanks for sharing this exciting update. I would definitely be interested in trying it out immediately, even if it is only "half-baked" yet. If we can easily go back to the production version, please sign me up. Thanks!
The two arrows on the top left page. If they are not there maybe Hubspot needs to give you access first. I think I remember that I had to ask them in the first place. Best, Dani
Is this feature live? I have a custom css file and template for a blog and it's so out dated - could someone help us convert the blog back to drag and drop plus the ability to insert background images in the header etc.
In some client portals it is live, without any warning.
In my dev-account some portals have the feature, some don't. It's just random.
The problem for me: most of my dev-portals don't have it and now some of our clients want custom modules for this. Don't now how I should develop these without having the feaure myself enabled. 🙈

Previous to this update, wich is AMAZING, i used to use the code snipets in the richtext of the content body, that is not working anymore and now i have thousands of posts broken, is there a way to fix that?
Is there a knowledge base article on how to implement this @yaisah . We are trying to add dnd_area to our blog single template and receiving errors for Error:The template cannot contain "dnd_area" modules. Thanks
