Customizer: Creating a Blog Post [Codeless]

Katherine Ramirez Updated by Katherine Ramirez

The article below will show you How to Create a New Blog Post on your Placester site.

Unlimited Post Creation 

Placester allows you to create as many posts as you’d like on your website. There is not a limit to the number of posts you can create. 

To create a new post, log in to your Placester account then edit site to access the back end of your website. On the side menu click create new > blog post.

Blog Post Editor Key

You'll be brought to a blank post editor. On the blog post slide out you’ll be able to edit the title, excerpt, and featured image and on the right you will see the content editor.

Here is a key to explain the different editing options within the post editor. Their descriptions are below the image.

1. Title: Add your post title here.

2. Slug: The slug is what comes after the slash and is based on your post title. In this case, the slug is sample-blog-post.

3. Assign to Category: Add your post to a category (Advanced Plan and Office Builder subscriptions)

4. Content: Edit the content of the post here. 

5. Excerpt: Edit the post excerpt here. This is the snippet of text that will appear on the blog index page, similar to this:

PHOTO

6. Featured Image: The thumbnail image that will appear on the blog index page. This is different from any images you add within the actual post content and needs to be uploaded separately with the featured image uploader.

When you’re done editing the content of your post, click Save as Draft or Create, depending on whether you’d like the post to be published on your blog page or not.

Content Editor

The Content Editor toolbar allows you to make some formatting adjustments within the post content. Here is a key that shows you what each button within the toolbar does.

  1. Formatting: format text as Normal, Header or Quote
  2. Bold
  3. Italic
  4. Underline
  5. Strikethrough
  6.  Remove Font Style
  7. Alignment and Indentation
  8. Line Height
  9. Unordered List: make a bulleted list on the page
  10. Ordered List: make a numbered list on the page
  11. Indentation
  12. Link: add hyperlinked text to your site
  13. Image: upload an image on the page. Click here to learn more about adding images.
  14. Video: embed a video within the page. Click here to learn more about embedding videos.
  15. Adding a Table
  16. HTML: Click here to learn more about inserting HTML
Scheduling Blog Posts (Advanced Plan and Office Builder Subscriptions)

With our upgraded packages, you have the ability to write a blog post and then schedule the exact time and date that you would like your blog to be posted to your website. Next to Published on the blog post slideout, you will see three dots. Click here and you will see an option for “Publish date”. You have the option of choosing to publish the blog immediately or you can click Publish date to specify a more specific date and time.

You can choose the date, time and specify the time zone and your blog will be published accordingly. This function is also available for blogs that were already created and published. If you would like to update the publish date of a blog that was previously created, you would follow this same process. 

Click SAVE once you've selected the date. Saving will change the Publish option to Scheduled.
