Blog Overview Context

A URL that links to the root, to specific categories, or to the archive of a BlogPost-Mapping, results in the template being rendered in the blog overview context.

The Blog Overview context renders different templates, based the following rules:

blogs.vm — the mandatory, default template, that is used if not category is selected, or as fallback, if not category-specific template is available.
blogs-<categoryName>.vm — the category-specific template that is used to render the category page for a specific blog category.
