New Layout Design for Blogpost
Thamara Adler
Currently, blog posts (news) do not automatically show the news teaser (image, video, quote) in the detailed blogpost view. This is a design in which the news teaser is automatically included.
The blog post has a maximum width of 800px. Columns are still available within the 800px width.
We are currently considering this as a new presentation form for blog posts.
Please let us know your thoughts on this design. We are looking forward to your feedback.

I like the idea very much, it would provide some kind of visual link to the teaser.
I am not sure if this already in your mookup, but I would suggest to improve the design of kicker and lead paragraph in the blogpost. At the moment, they are both hard to identify:
- kicker is sitting right below the breadcrump
- lead paragraph is between headline and author/datetimestamp

...at least this would fix the inconsistency between Linchpin Mobile App (where the teaser image is always displayed in the news detail view). We currently face the problem that we usually add the teaser image to the news detail as this normally is the first element to be shown. Now with using the app, the image teaser shows up twice in a row. I know we can prevent this with a macro (no mobile or something) but this is not really convenient for editors.
For us, an option would be great. Include teaser yes/no - which should then work for both desktop and app views.

That's an idea we have pondered as well, but we are not sure yet what the best way would be to tackle this. Maybe you, Patrick Albrecht, and all the voters could share their vision of the end result?
How would you want to deal with default images - if a default image is set, should this be integrated into the news as well?
Would you be okay with us changing the blog post view so that it shows a teaser image, always and everywhere?
Or would you rather work with a template and insert a kind of placeholder in this template, so you have influence over where the image should be?
We would very much appreciate your thoughts on those questions and whatever else you can think of :)

Angela Gaida: First it would be great if we see how the news looks at the News-Stream or at the Dashboard. Now we only see how the Post looks like.
You asked about template and placeholder. That's a good idea that would cover a use case by the vacancies or by process changes etc.
I could also imagine the same view, as in the event creation, with a live preview.

Angela Gaida: We don't use the default image so this is not important for us (We would like to have a default image per news channel though).
Also a placeholder in a template is not necessary for us either, so just the simplest solution would work for us :)

Patrick Albrecht, Sandra Urban, thanks a lot for your insights - that really helps. I cannot promise exactly when we will take on this issue, but I'm opening a backlog item for it. :)
