Yes, there is a way to easily add blog posts or news to a website created using Webflow without having to go into design mode. Webflow has a built-in CMS (Content Management System) that allows you to manage and update your website's content without having to touch the design or code.

Here's how you can add blog posts or news using the Webflow CMS:

  1. Log in to your Webflow account and open your project.
  2. In the Designer, go to the "CMS" tab on the left-hand side toolbar.
  3. Click on the "+" icon next to "Collections" to create a new collection. You can name it something like "Blog Posts" or "News".
  4. In the collection settings, you can add fields to capture information about each blog post or news article. Common fields include title, author, date, category, content, and featured image.
  5. Once you've set up the collection and its fields, you can start adding individual blog posts or news articles by clicking on the "Add New..." button.
  6. Fill in the details for each post in the provided fields. You can also format the content using the rich text editor.
  7. If you want to add a featured image, you can upload it by clicking on the image field and choosing a file from your computer.
  8. Repeat the process to add more blog posts or news articles to your collection.
  9. To display the blog posts or news articles on your website, go to the page where you want to add them.
  10. Drag and drop a collection list element from the "Add" panel onto the page.
  11. Connect the collection list to your desired collection in the Settings panel on the right-hand side.
  12. Customize the layout and design of your blog posts or news articles using the Designer, just like you would with any other element.
