Hello. I’m new to Discourse as an admin but not as a user. I can’t for the life of me find the answer in the forums on how to setup the Categories to display as square blocks vs horizontal line items. The blocks is how the “how-to” section is on this forum.

And then I can’t seem to find instructions on how to modify what displays on the home page of a forum. AirTable has two columns: one for categories and one for the latest posts.

I’m happy to do the reading if someone can point me in the right direction but I’ve search and don’t know how to ask the question to get the answers and knowledge base I’m looking for.
