How to Create a Blog

If you're new to blogging or want to start your own blog but don't know where to begin, this article will help you get started.


Step 1: Create a Blog Post with Settings and SEO details

  1. From Sites > Blogs, Create a New Blog Post with a Title, Description, and a Blog Post image

    Note - The image size allowed is 10MB

  2. Add the content for your blog post using the editor toolbar:

    • You can set styles with bold, italics, underline, strikethrough, fonts, styles, size
    • Add indent, number list, bulleted list, or to-do list
    • Add color and highlight
    • Add an image(s) or video(s) from the Media Library and YouTube and insert hyperlinks
    • Add quotes for specific content
    • Clear a particular format or format everything
  3. After adding content, set up the details:

    • URL Slug - Path for your blog post
    • Category (set up in blog settings)
    • Keywords
    • Author (set up in blog settings)
  4. Once reviewed, you can publish the post immediately or save it as a draft.


How to Create a Blog Page Within a Funnel or Website


Step 2: Add a Funnel or Website with the Blog Post List element

Note: This funnel or website page will be your main Blog page containing all blog posts added in the Blogs section.

  1. Create a new Funnel / Website or add a step/page to an existing one

  2. Once the funnel step is added, click the edit button to enter the editor

  3. Click on the element named Blog Post List

    • Choose the layout: Standard or Compact
    • Set Pagination (number of blog posts shown on landing page)
    • You can rename the "More stories" button
  4. Tip: Add a Header (Navigation menu) and Footer links to your blog page for better UX.

  5. Add your domain to the site from Funnel / Website Settings (if not already added)

  6. To make the blog your default page (e.g., blog.mydomain.com):

    • Go to Settings > Domains > Edit Domain
    • Set the blog page as Default Page

Important: Once published, Category, Keywords, Author, and Slug cannot be updated. An update to allow editing is in progress.
