Unlike the &lt;code&gt;banner&lt;/code&gt; or &lt;code&gt;hero&lt;/code&gt; layouts, the image does not span the full viewport width — it sits within the content column, scaled to fit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="when-to-use-featured"&gt;When to Use Featured&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This layout suits articles where the image is important but not the primary focus. The image appears after the title and metadata, before the body text — a natural reading order.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Background Image Layout</title><link>https://first-folio.demo.lobb.ie/journal/background-images/</link><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2025 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://first-folio.demo.lobb.ie/journal/background-images/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;The &lt;code&gt;background&lt;/code&gt; layout places the article&amp;rsquo;s image behind the content, with configurable opacity and blur. The text remains fully readable while the image provides atmosphere.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 id="controlling-the-effect"&gt;Controlling the Effect&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Two parameters fine-tune the background:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;code&gt;opacity&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; — how visible the image is (0.0 to 1.0). Lower values are more subtle.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;code&gt;blur&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; — how much the image is blurred. Higher values create a softer, less distracting backdrop.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This page uses &lt;code&gt;opacity: 0.15&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;blur: 8px&lt;/code&gt; for a gentle wash of colour behind the text.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
