Decoy:The formatter "Blog decoy teaser"

A decoy can be used in lists to create links to arbitrary web pages, also on other servers.

The blog teaser presents the content with a prominent image and one or more paragraphs in a format specially optimized for blogs. A link to the detail view of the content is also generated.

This teaser can only be used in a list.

Setting up a blog requires various settings.
