Compatibility: Shopify 2.0 FREE themes
In my opinion, Shopify pays a little attention to blog posting and only provide few options.
Things that I would like to see in the future with Shopify's blog articles are the following:
- Articles added as metafield item
- Able to have collection of articles
- Article template layout than can be edited like the index layout

I found it as a tedious work to use metafield for category, since you have to go in the article and assign each article to a metafield. It is easier to mark the articles and just tag at once.
