Using the Blog feature, you can create and optimize blog posts. The easy-to-use feature allows you to focus on content marketing, SEO optimization, and you can distribute your blog anywhere to attract readers to your blog! 

Step 1: Creating Blog Posts with Settings and SEO Details

• Navigate to Sites > Blogs, and here you can create a new Blog Post. Give it a Title, Description, and a Blog Post image.

• Using the editor toolbar, add your content and customize the font, images, etc.
  • Customize font styles and designs.
  • Add indentations and various list formats including numbered, bulleted, and to-do
  • Add image(s) and/or video(s) from your Media Library
  • You can also add YouTube videos or insert hyperlinks
  • Save your changes.

• Once you’ve added the content, you will need to set up the details for your blog. This includes:
  • URL Slug : the path for your post
  • Category (determined from blog settings)
  • Keywords
  • Author (determined from blog settings)

• After setting up the details, you can publish them right away or schedule them for a certain day and time to post, or keep them saved in draft mode. 

Step 2: Adding a Website or Funnel with the Blog Post List Element

NOTE: This funnel or website page will be your main Blog page with all your blog posts.

• Create a new Funnel / Website, or you can add a step/page to an existing one
• Within the step, go to the edit button.
• Click on the element titled “Blog Post List”
  • Choose the element and type of layout – either Standard or Compact
  • Make any additional customizations you wish to set up

• Add the domain to the site within Funnel / Website Settings.

• If you want the blog page to open when you enter your domain without any path you can navigate to Settings > Domains > Edit Domain > Select the blog page as the default page. You can set it up so that the blog opens at blog.thedemoaccount.com instead of blog.thedemoaccount.com/home

Step 3: How do domains work within the blog?

You add the domain to the Funnel or Website where the blog element is added. Here is a Blog URL format example:

• Domain: XYZ.com 
• Slug of the post: b/sample-demo
• Final url: XYZ.com/b/sample-demo

Pro Tips:

• Categories: Blog Post details will require Category. You can add multiple categories.
• Category details such as name, slug, and SEO details can be customized within Blogs Settings.
• Blog Author and Keywords are optional. Author details can be customized in Blogs Settings with a name, photo, and also social media information. Keywords can be set from the “publish” section.
