Current blog capability and features are fairly limited and I'm finding that there are some limitations which are not felt on other platforms. Would be great to have:
A summary/category page template, which shows all blogs, and all blogs for a particular category. At the moment, to get this functionality, a page design needs to be built and it is missing critical things like pagination.
Multiple blog post templates. I have different types of blog content for different purposes and therefore need different page features and CTAs. At the moment, can only have one blog post template so all content needs to align with this, which means compromises all round.
Pagination - current blog posts can be looooooong. Would be great to have the system auto-paginate longer posts so that they are more user friendly. Also for rankings, page views are important, so driving additional page views by splitting a post over shorter pages is preferable for rankings.
Metadata - there are currently no settings to add/control page meta. Would be good to have these as part of post publishing.
That's all I can think of for now... coming from using platforms like Wordpress and Hubspot, it would be great to see some of their publishing features worked into the blog capability here. It's quite important in recruitment marketing, which by its nature, is a content heavy activity... so we need good content publishing ability on our careers site.

To provide a quick update on this idea, I'm pleased to share that we've just released some new functionality which allows you to tag blog posts, and then use those tags to filter the content which is displayed to visitors on certain pages of your careers site.
Whilst this doesn't completely address the suggestion made in the first dot point, it does provide an ability for you to differentiate which posts are presented to visitors on different pages within the careers site without needing to maintain separate blogs.
For more details, please take a look at the latest release notes which can be found here.
We are looking at scheduling some enhancements to blogs later this financial year, and we will consider these suggestions for inclusion in that development.
We'll assess each idea in more detail closer to the commencement of that work.
