When you create a post on Bizzle you will have a little bit more options than your regular WordPress editor. On this page we going to tell you a bit more about the Extra Options to elevate your posts.
An Overview Of Post Formats
Bizzle supports all major post formats, giving you a wonderful variation of displaying your posts. When you write a blog post, you will notice a box in the post sidebar settings, labelled “Format.” Within this box are the 6 format options. Choosing “Standard” will result in a normally-formatted blog post, while each of the other options has a unique design associated with their format type. The “Standard” format is the most common one to use.
Using The Video Post Format
For posts using the Video Post Format, a video is placed at the top of the post. Additionally, the post’s Featured Image will be replaced with an embedded video in post listings across the Bizzle NZ website.

Upon selecting the “Video” post format from within the Format options box, you will notice a new settings box has been added in the left column.
