Blog
How to write blog posts for your Site, add a cover image, publish them and take them down again.
Who has the Blog
Every plan includes a blog. What changes is how many posts it can hold: 10 on Starter, 25 on Plus and no limit on Pro.
The Blog add-on, on the Add-ons page, raises the limit to 250 posts on Starter and Plus. Pro has no limit with or without it.
Drafts count toward the limit too. When you reach it, "Create draft" tells you. If your plan changes, your posts stay as they are; only new posts are blocked.
Blog is in your Site’s menu, in the "Content" group.
Write a post
1. On the Blog page, click "New post".
2. Type a title and click "Create draft". The post is saved as a draft and its editor opens.
3. Fill in "Excerpt", a short summary shown on your blog’s list page, and "Body", the post itself. A title and a body are both required.
4. Click "Save". "Discard changes" goes back to what you last saved.
The post’s web address is made from its first title. Changing the title later does not change the address. The Blog page lists every post with its status, Published or Draft.
The cover image
Under "Cover image", upload a picture from your computer.
Or click "Use an image link instead" and paste the address of a picture that is already online. It must be a public address that starts with https://.
The image is saved when you click "Save".
Publish and unpublish
Click "Publish" to make the post public. The page then shows "Live at" with the post’s address. Until you publish it, a post is a draft that only you can see.
For now your posts are shown on a blog page at etweb.dev made for your Site, not inside your Site’s own pages. Your Site must be live for that page to open.
"Unpublish" turns the post back into a draft. It stops being visible at its address until you publish it again. Nothing is deleted.
If your Site is suspended for payment, you cannot publish or start new posts. Posts already published stay up, and you can still unpublish them.
Delete a post
On the Blog page, click "Delete" beside a post, or open it and click "Delete post". Confirm, and the post is removed for good. This cannot be undone.
Deleting a post frees a place under your plan’s post limit.
