TL;DR
This is the TL;DR box: 2–4 sentences of facts at the top of the post. It also feeds the schema description and llms.txt. This demo shows every component in one place.
On this page
This is a demo post: one page with every component the new blog supports, so the team can see how each one looks on desktop and mobile. The text around each component explains what it is and when to use it. Inline elements first: a WIKI item link like AK-47 | Redline, an internal link to all CS2 gloves, italic, bold and an inline command cl_showfps 1.
Inline live prices from the WIKI, written as shortcodes in the sentence: the AK-47 | Redline is available from $30.41 on SkinsMonkey, its full range is $30.41–$183.39, and the most expensive wear goes up to $183.39.
Since publication · October 2026
The “Since publication” box: used only in news posts to add verified newer facts without changing the original date. 1–3 sentences, then a line saying what the rest of the article describes.
Key takeaways:
- Old posts keep their “Key takeaways” list as a plain paragraph and list.
- Every skin mentioned in the text links to the WIKI on first mention.
- Prices come from the WIKI live, never typed by hand.
Facts strip and headings
A row of three big numbers (HTML block, class facts). The third number is a live price.
This is an H3 heading
H3 sections sit inside an H2 section. Only H2 headings go into the table of contents in the sidebar.
This is an H4 heading
H4 is the smallest heading used in posts.
Images and video
A regular image block with a caption:

A YouTube video. The page shows a light preview with the channel bar; the player loads only after the reader clicks play. Videos from our own channel show the SkinsMonkey avatar.
WIKI cards with live prices
One item card (block skinsmonkey/wiki, variant card):
A grid of cards with a heading (variant grid):
Popular CS2 skins
An inline price check bar (variant price), used under item headings in lists:
Glock-18 | Fade from $1,859.75Check price
Ranking and price tables
A ranking with live prices and a short note per item (block skinsmonkey/rank):
- ★ Butterfly Knife | Fade
Knife · The classic fade on the most animated knife.
$2,836.41 – $2,839.26Check price - ★ Sport Gloves | Vice
Gloves · Pink and cyan, no pattern lottery.
$350.99 – $8,352.15Check price - M4A1-S | Printstream
Rifle · Black and white, fits any loadout.
$191.64 – $545.20Check price
A price table with live “From” and “Up to” columns (block skinsmonkey/price-table):
The same table with an extra text column, e.g. “Player” in pro-loadout posts (the importer builds it from lists like “NiKo: skin, skin”):
A regular table typed by hand (core Table block). Tables with up to 3 columns fit a phone screen as they are:
| Mode | Players | Rounds to win |
|---|---|---|
| Premier | 5v5 | 13 |
| Competitive | 5v5 | 13 |
| Wingman | 2v2 | 9 |
A table with 4 or more columns turns into stacked cards on phones (each cell shows its column name):
| Wear | Float range | Look | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Factory New | 0.00–0.07 | No visible wear | Collectors, showcase loadouts |
| Minimal Wear | 0.07–0.15 | Tiny scratches | Clean look for less |
| Field-Tested | 0.15–0.38 | Light wear | Best value for most skins |
Item entries
A numbered item entry with image, rarity color, key facts, a live price and a button (HTML block, class entry). Used in “best of” lists written for the new blog.
AK-47 | Redline
- Price
- $30.41–$183.39
- Rarity
- Classified
- Case
- Operation Phoenix Weapon Case
- Best wear to buy
- Field-Tested
A red-and-black carbon pattern that looks clean in Field-Tested. One of the most traded AK-47 skins, so it is easy to find in every wear.
AWP | Asiimov
- Price
- $112.29–$146.14
- Rarity
- Covert
- Case
- Operation Phoenix Weapon Case
- Best wear to buy
- Field-Tested
White, black and orange sci-fi design. There is no Factory New or Minimal Wear version, so Field-Tested is the cleanest you can get.
Comparison boxes
Definition tiles (class defs), good for “types of…” sections:
Factory New
Float 0.00–0.07No visible wear. The most expensive wear for most skins.
Field-Tested
Float 0.15–0.38Light wear, usually the best value.
Battle-Scarred
Float 0.45–1.00Heavy wear. Cheapest, and some skins look very different.
Pros and cons side by side (class proscons):
Worth paying for
- A wear you have inspected in-game.
- A float that is visibly cleaner, not just a lower number.
Not worth paying for
- “Rare pattern” claims on skins with no pattern variance.
- Battle-Scarred at Field-Tested prices.
