The Recommendations block shows the sites you recommend in Ghost Admin, under Settings › Growth › Recommendations. Each one shows the site's icon, its name, its domain and a short description, and links to the site in a new tab. You find it in the Content group of the block picker. It goes in a Section, or inside a Group, a Collection, a No Results or a Paywall. The Recommendations category of the pattern library has nine ready sections. The Centered Picks pattern below centers the text and turns on Separated, and its heading belongs to the section.
You add, edit and remove recommendations in Ghost Admin, not in Fantasma, and you cannot pick single sites in the block. The preview shows demo recommendations until you connect your Ghost site. The links always open in a new tab. When recommendations are turned off in Ghost, the block shows nothing. Show sites you recommend walks through setting them up.
