Hi,
You can consider using List Section Carousel, but you will need to enter manual text/image/link to each projects

There are a number of ways to make this type of page. It looks like it could be Wexley, Avenue, or one of many 7.0 Templates laid out to the left (like my site) with one page, one image block, a text block, or a card block on the right. It could even be a blog post, but that is not likely. I suspect the website where this image was located is no longer active. You said slider, do the images rotate horizontally?  A template very close in style to this one is Forte, here is the demo:

In your dashboard, go to Marketing -> SEO and toggle through these options (yellow):

It would also be worth going into the page settings for your blog and updating the blog URL slug as /blog-1-1/ is probably not the greatest to use.

Go into the blog page settings by clicking on the 3 dots by the blog post in the blog dashboard. Then go to options and change the thumbnail image.

M.  Derrick. I made it. Thank you. 🙂

If your images are in a gallery block, then edit it choose  grid, set the aspect ratio to 3:2 standard, and uncheck crop images. 

If you have 7.1 you can change Nav links into buttons, 7.0 is a bit trickier here is a video guide that tells you how to do both:
 

I just found this YouTube video that was posted a few hours ago. It fixes this issue: 
 

That worked, too! Thank you so much!

If you don't necessarily want the comment count then this code should work in config/design/custom css
 
h3.comment-count span {
    visibility: hidden;
}
h3.comment-count span:before {
    visibility: visible;
    content: "Notes";
}
It works on my site, I changed comments (0) to Have a comment? 

You can also create a blog post archive in the unlinked section of your site. If using 7.1 you can duplicate any post to that blog and then delete it off your published site. The unlinked blog page doesn't have to be enabled for it to still work this way. 

Take a look at my blog setup, I categorize by subject a whole lot of posts with a drop down menu and each subject has its own url and each post in the subject/category of course has its own url also.. I don't see why you can't adapt this method to show your portfolio of work.

OK. Thanks Derrick.
I ended finding it after your suggestion. I clicked on "Pages" and within this section I was able to add a new "Page" and thus a button.

If you deleted the whole page, and it was less than 30 days ago, it should be in your trash can where you can click on restore. If it was just a block on the page, then its gone unfortunately. 

The help video is showing how to use 7.1 not 7.0 (it is a typo at the top of the you tube video) that is why you don't have those options in  the same place in your config program. I use Avenue as well, so where are these images you can't get the title to show? An image block, a gallery or a gallery page? Depending on the gallery block design titles will only show when the image is in lightbox mode. If the image is on a gallery page, it shows up in the stack, not under the thumbnail. 

You cannot password protect an individual post or provide a contributor account with this level of granularity. However, there is a workaround.
First create a second, empty blog page and set a password on this blog.  Next, move the draft post to the new, password-protected blog and publish it there. Finally, share the blog password and the URL of the post with the author to allow them to view it. Did this help? Please give feedback by clicking an icon below  ⬇️

Please disregard. I figured it out.
 

Thank you!
 

Thank you for your help. I'll run with this solution then. 

Not really, I did learn not to put any images or excerpt text in the blog posts settings/options that contain my summary blocks. Also those posts (except for the first one-Featured Posts)  have a category, and that category is where the archive block pulls its info, so the post that has the category photography, shows up in the archive/subject block as photography.  And the post with category photography has the URL
 https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary/photography 
and when you go to that post thru the archive block it has the URL:
https://myrandomviews.com/blogsummary/category/Photography
One issue: I find it easier to do than to explain how I use two blog pages to make it look like one facing the viewer. 

From the blog help guide: 
One visitor "like" per post
A visitor can like each blog post only once. We limit visitor likes per blog post in three ways:
When a visitor likes a post, the action is stored in their browser's local storage.
We log the visitor's IP address to prevent multiple likes from the same visitor.
If a visitor is logged into your site, they can't like the post again from any browser or IP while logged in.
This could be part of the issue, that crumb message is a bit annoying. And I find that  it really is not right. I have liked a blog post more than once, but can't like comments at all. I tried toggling the feature off, but the like heart still stays up. Sure looks like a bug is causing this. 

Best to disable comments simple likes at this point, removes the heart icon. 

You can consider using 3 Summary Blocks to achieve this.

Thanks Derrick!
