Creating and editing posts
Once the blog is enabled, the Blog panel in the builder is your post manager. Reach it from the page selector’s Manage posts button (or just navigate to your blog in the preview).
The post list
Section titled “The post list”The Posts tab lists everything with a status badge (Draft / Published), author and date. You can search, filter by status, and on each post: edit its settings, publish/unpublish, or delete.
Creating a post
Section titled “Creating a post”Click New post, give it a title, and pick a path:
- Create post — an empty draft you write yourself.
- Generate with AI — Genesis drafts the whole post on that title; you edit from there.
Either way the post opens as a draft.
Writing the body
Section titled “Writing the body”Open a post and double-click its body in the preview — the full editor opens. Beyond
text formatting (headings, bold/italic, links, lists, quotes), type / to insert content
blocks:
| Block | What it is |
|---|---|
| Figure | An image with alt text and a caption (picks from your assets) |
| Gallery | A multi-image grid — pick several images at once; 2, 3, or 4 columns |
| Callout | A highlighted note — info, warning, or success style |
| Quote | A pull-quote with attribution |
| Code block | Syntax-highlighted code with a language picker |
| Button | A call-to-action button — text, link, color, filled or outlined |
| Divider | A horizontal break |
Click any block to edit its settings (images, captions, colors, columns) in the side panel. Your edits save when you close the editor — these blocks render on the live site exactly as you see them while editing.
Post settings
Section titled “Post settings”Each post has a settings form with two tabs:
General
Section titled “General”- Title — shown in the list, the browser tab, and as the post’s heading.
- Slug — the URL (
/blog/your-post). Generated from the title, and editable — you can fix a typo or shorten it later. Changing it changes the post’s address, so old shared links and any inbound SEO for the previous URL stop matching; rename early rather than after a post has been circulating. - Written by — pick an author (or create one inline).
- Categories — tick any number (or create new ones inline).
- Visibility — the Draft ↔ Published toggle.
- Publish date — defaults to “now” when you publish; can be backdated.
- Stats — word count and reading time, computed from the body.
- Page title and meta description (the description doubles as the social-preview text, up to 220 characters).
- Social preview image — 1200×630 recommended; it’s also used as the post’s cover on the blog home and post page.
- FAQ entries — question/answer pairs for this page. They’re emitted as FAQ structured data, which is what lets a search engine show them as expandable questions under your result.
On top of what you fill in, every published post ships full BlogPosting structured data
(headline, author, dates, image) automatically.
Changes save with the Save button — an “Unsaved changes” indicator reminds you when the form is dirty.
Publishing
Section titled “Publishing”Flip Visibility to Published (or use the publish action in the post list / ask the AI).
Publishing puts the post on /blog, in your RSS feed and sitemap, and makes its URL live.
Unpublishing reverses all of that — the post returns to draft.
