Hi there,
I built a collection list. Blog posts pretty much. I have a list of all of them here and the content is saved in collections. How can I link them to the content? Or do I need to create an individual page for each blog post?

hi @WellRadiant your additional question is not related to original topic please keep forum tidy to have discussion only about request. As this is common issue for beginners (using columns) you can find requests with solutions about this issue on this forum. Please invest some of your time to search this forum before you place new request.
Anyway, this is standard behaviour of columns. We have used columns as helper for web design in era without Flex and Grid (long time ago). I understand you are using columns this way when you see this in WF tutorials. This is not best practice as columns are and should be mainly use to split text into columns as you see it in newspaper. If you want to use them you will need to know what are you doing and what are columns limits. Better solution to achieve your design is to use above mentioned technologies (CSS Grid and/or Flex).
Thank you so much for your help. I tried with the grid and flex and didnât work. Are there any other alternatives or how can I approach this? Thank you for your help! Screen Shot 2021-09-08 at 12.43.08 PM|690x307
hi @WellRadiant sorry to hear that CSS Grid didnât work for you. I presume that is due lack of knowledge, thatâs fine as we all have been on beginning once. So the best way is to take online course on HTML and CSS (you can find nice one on YT). Once you will get basic understanding how things works come back to WF and use this knowledge to make it work. 
This may sound disheartening, but itâs true. WF is nearly unabstracted when it comes to the underlying principals to web development. To truly unlock itâs power you need a good understanding of html, css and probably a good bit of js.
This makes the learning curve for beginners hard, but enables it to be such a great tool in the first place!
Thank you, do you suggest displaying my collection in another way? I hope there is an alternative
I appreciate your help!
hi @WellRadiant just use CSS Grid or Flex once you have knowledge how to use it.
