To design a blog layout with cards, meta information, and a sticky sidebar using Bootstrap 5, you can utilize the grid system and card components. Here's a basic example to get you started.

<!-- BEGIN COPY / PASTE -->
        <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <!-- Main Content -->
                <div class="col-md-8">
                    <div class="card mb-4">
                        <div class="card-body">
                            <h5 class="card-title">Blog Post Title</h5>
                            <h6 class="card-subtitle mb-2 text-muted">Author - Date</h6>
                            <p class="card-text">This is a short excerpt from the blog post...</p>
                            <a href="#" class="card-link">Read more</a>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <!-- Repeat card for more blog posts -->
                </div>
                <!-- Sidebar -->
                <div class="col-md-4">
                    <div class="sticky-top" style="top: 20px;">
                        <div class="card mb-4">
                            <div class="card-body">
                                <h5 class="card-title">Sidebar</h5>
                                <p class="card-text">Additional content or links can go here.</p>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <!-- END COPY / PASTE -->

Additional Comment:

The layout uses a Bootstrap grid with two columns: one for the main content and one for the sidebar.
The `.sticky-top` class is used to make the sidebar sticky, and you can adjust the `top` value to control its offset.
The `.card` component is used for both the blog posts and the sidebar content.
You can repeat the card structure inside the main content column for additional blog posts.
