What did they said when he asked if he neither going too quickly or too slowly?

[@OddBranch]

Is native filtering and sorting of CMS Items (for the site visitor) ever coming to Webflow? The only solution right now are third party custom codes.

I'm 36 mins in without getting any 'new ways of structuring a blog in Webflow'.
The video title should include the words beginner, baby steps, or 101

[@darrenbealeofficial]

In terms of blogs it would be good to present some use-cases of members/users marking posts as favorites or to read/watch-later, at a minimum. There's a ton of possibilities.

[@clickbaitpolice9792]

let's say you wanted one post to have 2 images in the body and another post to have 3, can you do this in webflow or do you need custom code? Does rtf support images?

[@Webflow]

You can add multiple images to rich text fields and the number you can add is not locked in (you can add two to one rich text field, and 3 to another)

[@raphaelshklarek]

Everything working great except for the related posts filtering not excluding the current article, meaning you get the same article as a related post. Any way to fix that? Thanks a lot!

[@Webflow]

Hey Rapahel, Aron here. You can exclude the current article by adding an additional filter. Here's a quick walkthrough: www.loom.com/share/12c39f2ea40f49bea00c5f7a79c81310
Hope that helps!

What's the difference between Webflow101 and the old lessons?

[@Webflow]

The new Webflow 101 course has been updated to reflect the latest UI up to April 2023.

[@MarcBurgstaller]

@webflow if i want to add the header image, I dont have got the option to choose an image from the collection list. The only way to get an collection image into the field is as an background image. If i set the both sizings to Auto it doesnt show any image so i have to give a sizing and without havin the full responsibility. Am idoing something wrong?
