How do I write and publish a blog?

Ask the AI Social Media Manager for a blog from the + menu; a full draft opens in the Blog Post panel, where you edit it in a visual editor. Save a draft, or publish now or schedule it — to your connected WordPress site, or to a blog Sagelyn hosts on your own domain.

Draft one

1. In chat with the AI Social Media Manager, click + and choose Blog.
2. Give it a topic and send. The draft takes a little longer than a post.
3. A draft with a title, excerpt, content, category and featured image opens in the Blog Post panel next to the chat. The agent writes each blog to be found in Google and quoted in AI answers, and checks first that the topic fits your business.

Edit and save

In the Blog Post panel, press Edit to use the visual editor. Its toolbar formats headings, bold, italics, lists, quotes, links and tables, and has undo and redo. You can also change the title, excerpt, featured image, category and tags. Save draft keeps it as a draft; nothing is published until you say so.

Under Content → Blogs the drafts sit as cards, filterable by All, Drafts, Scheduled and Published. Open one to edit every field.

Host your blog on your own domain

If your website is on Squarespace, Wix, GoDaddy or another site builder that can't take posts from outside, Sagelyn can host the blog for you, on an address of your own. A Brand has one hosted blog.

1. Open Connections, choose the Website & blog tab and press Connect on Squarespace, Wix & other site builders. You can also connect from the Blog Post panel when nothing is connected yet.
2. Pick your site builder and type the address for your blog. Use a subdomain such as blog.yoursite.com, not your main domain. Press Continue.
3. Sagelyn shows the one DNS record to add at your domain host, step by step. Add it there.
4. The card says it's waiting for the DNS record and checks on its own. When the record is in place it shows Blog connected with a View blog link.
5. Add a Blog link to your website's menu so visitors can find it.

Entered the wrong address? Use a different address starts over while the card is waiting. Once it's connected, Disconnect removes it.

Publish or schedule

Publish to, in the Blog Post panel, lists the sites connected to the Brand. Publish sends the blog live to the site you choose. Schedule sets a date and time; it publishes within about half an hour of that. Cancel on a scheduled blog returns it to Draft. Both need a connected site — a WordPress site, or a blog on your own domain — see Connect your platforms.
