Creating a Blog Post
You fill in the post's title, content, cover image, tags, SEO settings, and publication status in cards.
Where to find: Blog → New Blog Post (or Edit on a post) Who it's for: Anyone writing a blog post In short: You fill in the post's title, content, cover image, tags, SEO settings, and publication status in cards.
How is the form arranged?
The form has two columns:
- On the left (wide): General Information and Content.
- On the right (narrow): Publication Status, Cover Image, Tags, SEO.
General Information card
| Field | What is written? | Mandatory? |
|---|---|---|
| Title | The post's title. At least 2 characters. | |
| Slug | The post's web address (/blog/...). Created automatically from the title; you can change it manually with Edit. | |
| Summary | The post's short introduction (appears in lists and previews). At most 1000 characters. |
If the same slug is used on another post, a "This slug is already in use" warning appears.
Content card
- You write the body of the post here. It's a rich text editor like a mini-Word.
- What you can do: headings (H1-H6), bold/italic/underline, alignment, bulleted and numbered lists, link, image, table, text color and highlight.
- The reading time is calculated automatically based on the content (approximately 200 words = 1 minute).
Tip: Splitting long posts into headings (H2/H3) improves both readability and SEO.
Cover Image card
- It's the main image that will appear at the top of the post and in the list.
- You select an image from your media gallery with the Select from Gallery button (a single image).
- To remove the selected image, click the X above it.
Tags card
- You tag the post by topic (e.g. "Fashion", "Discount", "Guide").
- With Add tag... you select from existing tags or write and create a new one.
- You remove a tag with the X next to it.
Tags help the reader find similar posts and assist in-site navigation.
Publication Status card
| Field | What does it do? |
|---|---|
| Status | Draft (hidden) / Published (public) / Archive (off publication). |
| Publication Date | The date/time the post will be published. By choosing a future date you can schedule it. |
| Reading Time | Calculated automatically based on content (e.g. "~5 min"); you don't enter it. |
Scheduling: If you prepare a post now and set it to Published + a future Publication Date, it's published automatically on that date.
SEO card
Adjusts how the post will appear in search engines. There is a Google preview at the top.
| Field | What does it do? |
|---|---|
| Meta Title | The title in the search result (if blank, the post title is used). At most 255 characters (there's a counter). |
| Meta Description | The description in the search result. At most 500 characters. |
| Indexable | Should the post appear in search results? (Yes/No.) |
| Followable | Should search engines follow the links in the post? (Yes/No.) |
| Keywords | Comma-separated words. |
| OG & Canonical (expandable) | Social media share title/description (OG) and the actual address (Canonical URL). Usually left blank. |
Most of these fields are optional; if you're a beginner you can leave them blank, the system uses the post title/summary.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change the slug? Yes, you can open it with Edit and type; but changing the address of a published post can break old links.
I can't enter the reading time manually. Correct — it's calculated automatically and can't be changed.
