To do this, add the Post Listing block to the page. After selecting the appropriate options from the **Post Listing Types** and **Select Post Type** dropdowns and any other related settings, select **Masonry** from the **Layout** section. Use the Masonry layout when your posts have featured images of varying heights, since it eliminates the uneven whitespace you would see in a standard grid layout.
