Writing and publishing an article

Create a blog article, build it block by block, have AI write or refine it, preview it, then publish it and the conditions that apply.

The blog is a section of your site: open the site, then Blog in the left-hand column. The list shows the number of articles, including drafts, and the maximum allowed for your site.

Creating an article

Click New article and give it a title: its address (/blog/…) is created automatically and can be changed later. The editor opens with, alongside the content, a few fields around the article:

  • Summary: two or three sentences that make people want to read on, displayed on the Blog page and in Google results.
  • Address (URL): renaming it after publication automatically creates a redirect from the old one.
  • Author: shown beneath the title; leave it empty to display nothing.
  • Keywords: up to eight, separated by commas.
  • Cover image: taken from your media library, it also serves as the share image on social networks.

Building the content block by block

An article is written as a stack of blocks: Add a block, the type, then a click where you want it. There are six types: Paragraph, Section title (main heading or subheading), Image (with an optional caption), List (bulleted or numbered), Quote (with its source) and Button (a label and a link to a page, an address, an email or a telephone). Text areas accept bold, italic and links, see Formatting text. In a paragraph, Enter opens the next paragraph; text pasted from several paragraphs becomes the same number of blocks. ↕ Move changes the order, × deletes (Undo puts it back). It's the same editor as the Text block on pages.

Getting help from AI

  • Write with AI: based on the title, the summary, your notes (the facts to be told) and your site's profile, with an optional instruction ("emphasize winter maintenance, end with a practical tip"). The current text is taken in and replaced by an article of 400 to 700 words, structured in sections; images and buttons are kept, placed after it. The summary is filled in if it was empty. The AI writes no fact (date, name, place, price) that isn't in what you give it, and anything it had to leave out is flagged. Read it through, then save.
  • The ✨ button on each text block refines it: Improve, Shorten or Correct, with an optional instruction. The text is replaced in the field, so read it through, then save.
  • Suggest summary and keywords: derived from the content, once the article is somewhat written.
  • From the editor’s assistant, “write an article about winter care” creates a written draft that is never published: you’ll find it in the Blog section to read through.

These actions use up the assistant's energy, whose cost is shown in each window and on the summary button. See AI credits, energy and quotas.

Preview, publishing, unpublishing

  • Preview opens the actual rendering of the last save in a new tab, with your site’s theme, header and footer.
  • Publish the article launches the site’s publication: the article is online a few seconds later. If your site also has unpublished changes, they go live at the same time.
  • Editing an article that is already online, then clicking Save, changes nothing on the site: click Republish the article to put the new version online.
  • Unpublish removes the article from the site (its address returns a page not found); Delete the article erases it permanently, with confirmation.
