Blend comes with 4 custom post types: portfolio, about, services and news. You can easily disable any of these sections if you don’t want it to be displayed on your site.

You can rename these custom post types and also change the order of appearance in the site navigation by just drag and drop in theme admin.

Premium Plugin – Development Mode
