Blog. Nothing has been changed in terms of embedded articles with the release of the new version of Opencart 3.x, - there is nothing, except for the Information section, which is more the functionality of the pages, but not the blog. We had to adapt the module to Opencart 3.
The blog module is needed by an online store for article search engine promotion of the site. It's no secret that the more original thematic information you have on your site, the more visitors from search engines you will receive, and, accordingly, this can increase sales. It is better to write articles yourself - who better than yourself understands the specifics of your business direction. You need to write high-quality unique text and the more - then your site will attract many visitors, for sure, some of which may become your customers.
