The Blog - Content Category Menu Item adds a link that lists published items from the Content Categories in a "blog" format. The blog format displays articles as a series of short summaries of items.

Details:
Name : Type here the name of the Menu Item as it will appear on the menu on your site.

Category : Select all, one or multiple categories.

URL: The URL for this item will show after clicking Apply/Save.

Parent Item: Select Top if you want the menu item to appear at the same level as your primary navigation menu. You can also put the item under an existing menu by selecting the existing menu item as the item's parent.

Ordering: By default, Joomla adds new items to the end of the existing menu items list. After saving or applying the new item, you can change its order. Use the pull-down menu to select the item after which the new item will appear.

Access Level: Sets the user level required to  view the item.

Published: Sets whether the menu item is published or not. By default, new menu items are published.

Parameters:
Menu Image: Sets an image to appear to beside the menu item. To show an image, in Modules -> Site Modules -> [name-of-menu], set the "Show Menu Items" option in the parameters to "Yes". Load the menu image to the /images/stories directory.

 Page Class Suffix: Adds the suffix entered to the CSS classes for this page. Edit the CSS stylesheet to customize the appearance of this page class tag.

Back Button: Shows or hides a 'Back' text link at the bottom of the page to return the user to the previously viewed page. Select 'Use Global' to use site default setting defined through Site->Global Configuration, 'Hide' to override the global setting and hide the link, or 'Show' to override the global setting and show the link.

Page Title: Displays the text entered at the top of the page.

Show/Hide Page Title: Hides or shows the Page Title text (defined in the 'Page Title' field).

# Leading: Defines the number of items to display running the width of the display area on the page. Only the Introductory text as defined in a content item's Intro Text field will display.

# Intro: Defines the total number of items to display with the Introductory text shown.  If only one column is chosen, these items will display in the same way as the #Leading Items.

# Columns: Defines the number of columns used to display items whose introductory text is displayed.

# Links:  Defines the number of items to display as linked titles with no introductory text. These items will appear under the Leading items and items with Introductory Text showing.
