Creating a Blog

Adding and editing blog posts

Every template comes preset with a blog feature and three templates you can edit to add blog and publish blog content.

The Blog feature lets you create, maintain, and publish articles on your site. It provides tools to edit your individual post and blog designs, letting you provide a reliable stream of personalized content to attract visitors and create interest in your site.

Blog stats

Blog permissions

Blog permissions can be added to team permissions. By default, the Admin permissions group included blog permissions. For more information, see Manage Team Permissions.

Edit layout

Any changes you make to this page affects how all posts display on your blog.

If you want to change the design of the blog post page, you can add widgets to enable additional text, graphics, social media, and other effects. Editing the post design only changes the general layout of posts by adding or deleting widgets, rows, and columns. This does not let you change the text or graphics of an individual post.

To edit the layout of all blogs, in the left panel, click Blog, and then click Edit Layout.
