Blog Masonry with Text Overlay

Code Toolkit
Written By Squarestylist Support

What You'll Create

A masonry-style blog layout where post titles and excerpts overlay centered on top of the featured images, creating an elegant collage effect.

The Problem It Solves

Default blog masonry layouts position text below images, taking up extra vertical space. This technique overlays the content directly on images for a more compact, visually striking presentation.

Perfect For

Photography blogs, Visual portfolios, Lifestyle sites, Fashion blogs, Travel journals.

What Makes This Different

CSS positions the blog summary content absolutely over images using transform to center both horizontally and vertically. The overlay maintains readability while showcasing imagery prominently.
