Writing blog posts

There are two separate article surfaces in your workspace, and it helps to know which one you are in.

Blog pages. Website → Blog is a normal page list. New Blog Post there opens the template gallery filtered to article layouts: Article - Classic, Article - Feature, Article - Minimal and Blog Home. These are built and published exactly like any other page, at their own URL path. See Creating a page.

Blog posts. These are written posts stored separately, and they are what powers the /blog section of your site and the Latest Posts widget. They live at /account/blog, reachable from the Blog posts button at the top of the Blog tab.

Writing a post. Click New Blog Post on that screen. It creates an "Untitled post" draft and opens the editor immediately. The main column has:

• Title.
• Excerpt, a short summary used on the blog list and in social shares. Leave it blank to generate one from the body.
• Body, written in HTML. Headings, paragraphs, lists, links and quotes are supported, and the content is sanitized on publish.

The sidebar has:

• URL slug, derived from the title if you leave it alone.
• Author, prefilled with your name.
• Tags, comma separated. Visitors can filter the blog by tag.
• Cover image, picked from your media library. See Using media across the workspace.
• SEO & social: Page title, Page description and Social share image.

Click Save to keep working, then Publish when it is ready. Unpublish moves it back to draft. A published post shows a View link to the live article.

Where it appears. Published posts render on your connected pages domain at /blog for the index and /blog/{slug} for each article, framed by your default header and footer set. The index shows nine posts per page and supports search and tag filtering. Drafts return a 404, so nothing leaks early.

Managing posts. The list at /account/blog supports search by title or excerpt, a status filter for Draft and Published, sorting, and a per-row menu with Edit, Publish, Unpublish and Delete. You can also tag posts and add them to lists.

Blog settings. Under Settings → Blog you set the blog's own Page title, Page description and Social share image, used when someone shares the blog URL itself.
