Write and Publish a Blog Post

The post editor combines writing tools, media, optional AI help and search settings in one flow.

Start a post

  1. Go to Sites > Blog and open the blog that should hold the post.
  2. Click New Post.
  3. Turn on Auto-Save near the top right so progress is never lost.
  4. Enter a Title and write your article in the editor.

Enrich the content

  • Links: highlight text, click the chain icon, enter the URL and choose Add Link.
  • Images: click the image icon to insert from a URL, your Media Library or the built-in image generator.
  • Audio and video: use the headphones or camera icons to add files from the Media Library, or embed a YouTube video.
  • Content AI: click Content AI to get an outline or first draft that you can then edit.

Finish and publish

  1. Click Continue to reach the status and metadata page.
  2. Choose a Status: Draft, Published, or Scheduled for a future date.
  3. Set the URL Slug, Category, Author and Keywords.
  4. Fill in the SEO fields: title, image alt text, cover image and description.
  5. Click the button in the upper right, which reads Draft, Publish or Schedule depending on your choice.

To change a live post, reopen it, edit, and choose Update Post.

Good to know: Write the slug yourself instead of accepting a long auto-generated one; short slugs are easier to share and tend to rank better.
