Blog
Write news, build stories and how-tos for your customers. Posts help people find your store in search.
Where to find it
Go to Website → Blog. Across the top are Blog Posts, Categories and Tags. The posts list can be filtered by status (Published or Draft) and category.
Write a post
- On Website → Blog, click New Post (+ New Post when you have none yet)
- Fill in Post Content:
- Title
- URL Slug: leave empty to make one from the title
- Excerpt: a short summary shown in post listings
- Content: the article, in the editor
- On the right:
- Status: Draft (only you see it) or Published
- Featured Image: pick one with Upload New or from your media library, and give it Alt Text
- Category, Tags and Author
- Optionally fill in SEO Settings: Meta Title (empty uses the post title), Meta Description (empty uses the excerpt) and Meta Keywords
- Click Save Post
To change a post, click Edit in the list, then Update Post. View Post opens it on your storefront. Delete Post is under Danger Zone.
The editor
The content editor has bold, italic, underline and strikethrough, headings, bullet and numbered lists, text and background color, alignment, links, quotes and code blocks. The image button opens your media library; click an inserted image to resize it by dragging its corners.
Categories
Categories on the blog page lists them. Click Add Category, enter a Name (the slug is made from it), an optional Description and a Sort Order (lower numbers first), then Create Category.
Tags
Tags on the blog page has an Add New Tag form: enter a Name and click Add Tag. A post can have many tags.
