Hello @JamiuTech 

Adding blogs to your main menu and getting their URLs set up is actually pretty straightforward once you know where to look. Here’s how:

1. Find your blog’s handle/URL
2. Go to Online Store → Blog Posts in your Shopify admin.
3. Click on the blog name (not a post) and look at the URL in your browser bar—it’ll end in /blogs/your-blog-handle. That’s your blog’s URL.
4. Add the blog to your Main menu
5. Go to Online Store → Navigation → Main menu.
6. Click Add menu item.
7. In the Name field, enter whatever you want your menu to say (e.g. “News” or “Style Tips”).
8. For the Link, click Blogs and select your blog from the list (Shopify will fill in the correct /blogs/your-blog-handle URL).
9. Hit Add, then Save menu.

Now your blog shows up in the main nav, and clicking it takes visitors straight to /blogs/your-blog-handle. If you ever rename your blog, Shopify updates that handle automatically. Just repeat step 1 to grab the new URL.
