A Blog Layout in Joomla has 3 main areas.

1. Leading: Articles always display in 1 column, using the full display width. If an Article has a "Read more..." break, only the text before the break (called the Intro Text) will display, along with a "Read more..." link.
2. Intro: Articles may display in 1, 2, or 3 columns, depending on the Columns setting. If an Article has a "Read more..." break, only the text before the break will display, along with a "Read more..." link.
3. Links.

The parameters below control the number of Articles in each area and the order in which they display.
