Demo: every component of a blog post

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.

Comparison boxes

Definition tiles (class defs), good for “types of…” sections:

Factory New

Float 0.00–0.07

No visible wear. The most expensive wear for most skins.

Field-Tested

Float 0.15–0.38

Light wear, usually the best value.

Battle-Scarred

Float 0.45–1.00

Heavy 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.

In the sidebar: the table of contents, WIKI cards of the items this post is about and a CTA. Below the page: the agents band and, on phones, a sticky CTA bar.
