           To create a structure with 3 main categories that lead to subcategories and then to blog posts in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
- Set up your main categories:
 
- In your Webflow dashboard, create a new collection called "Main Categories."
 - Add the necessary fields for your main categories, such as name, description, and image.
 - Populate the collection with the desired main categories.
 
- Set up your subcategories:
 
- Create a new collection called "Subcategories."
 - Add the necessary fields for the subcategories, such as name, description, image, and a reference field to link it to the main category.
 - Create a reference field to link the subcategory back to the main category.
 - Populate the collection with subcategories.
 
- Set up your blog post collection:
 
- Create another collection called "Blog Posts."
 - Add the necessary fields for blog posts, such as title, content, image, and a reference field to link it to the subcategory.
 - Create a reference field to link the blog post back to the subcategory.
 - Populate the collection with blog posts.
 
- Create dynamic lists on your pages:
 
- On a page where you want to display the main categories, add a dynamic list using the "Main Categories" collection.
 - Customize the layout and design of your dynamic list, displaying the main category fields you want to show.
 - Add a link block for each main category and link it to the respective subcategory page.
 
- Set up subcategory pages:
 
- Create a new page for each subcategory using the same template.
 - Add a dynamic list using the "Subcategories" collection, filtered by the main category reference.
 - Customize the layout and design of your dynamic list, displaying the subcategory fields you want to show.
 - Add a link block for each subcategory, linking it to the respective blog posts page.
 
- Set up the blog post pages:
 
- Create a new page for each blog post using the same template.
 - Add a dynamic list using the "Blog Posts" collection, filtered by the subcategory reference.
 - Customize the layout and design of your dynamic list, displaying the blog post fields you want to show.
