What the page is for

The Blog Editor is where you write a blog post for your company's blog. You give the post a title, write the body with a full formatting toolbar, and set the web address, search description and featured image.

Posts can be saved as a draft, published or archived. A post can also appear in your knowledge base as well as the blog. While you write, the editor saves your work automatically.

Your blog's look, address and embed code are set on Blog Setup. Ready-made posts you can import and adapt are in the Public Content Library.

Tips

  • The editor saves automatically about 30 seconds after you stop typing, once the post has a title. Watch for "Saved" under the buttons.
  • Keep the meta description under 160 characters; the counter shows how many you have used.
  • Changing the slug changes the post's web address. Avoid changing it after the post has been shared.
  • Pasted images are kept inside the post. For a featured image, use a web address to an image you host.

Troubleshooting

  • "Title is required" appears when you save without a title. Add a title first.
  • "Could not save" means the post was not saved. Check your connection and try again.
  • "Post not found" means the post you tried to open does not exist or is not yours.
