Blog Posts

A blog consists of two things: the blog index page, which shows an overview of the most recent blog pages, and the individual blog posts themselves.

To work with blog posts, in the CloudSuite Admin go to Blogs > Posts. An overview appears, listing all blog posts that have already been defined. Click an existing post to open its details or click Create Post to create a new one.

Before you continue, make sure you are working in the correct language. The remaining settings are split over a number of tabs.

Page

1. Select the Group that this blog post belongs to. Blog groups are defined in the Blogs > Groups section of the CloudSuite Admin.
2. If blog posts are grouped, select the appropriate Category. Categories are defined in the Blogs > Categories section of the CloudSuite Admin.
3. Select the Author of the post. Authors are defined in the Blogs > Authors section of the CloudSuite Admin.
4. Enter the post's Title which is shown to the reader.
5. Enter the SEO Description for the post.
6. Under Options, check Active if you want to make the blog post immediately visible.
7. Optionally, set the Publish Date. By default this is the same as the creation date of the blog post.
8. Select one or more blog Tags which can be used to display related posts. Blog tags are defined in the Blogs > Tags section of the CloudSuite Admin.
9. Optionally, add a Picture. This will also be shown on the Blog Index page (if it is part of the design).

Layout, Access, SEO, Settings and Custom Data

These tabs are (almost) identical to their counterparts in Page Details.
