Creating a blog post is an excellent way to add unique content to your website and attract more visitors. In this article, we will cover how to create your own blog post and publish it on your website!
-
Access the Blog Posts Section: In your FMG admin, navigate to Blog > Create Blog Post:
-
Create Blog Content: Here, you can add your blog content:
-
Title*: this will be the main headline on the blog post and appear on your blog's landing page
-
Author: you can choose to designate any of your team members as the author of a post
-
Post date*: this will default to today's date, but you can be proactive and write several blog posts with future post dates and sit back and watch those blogs appear on your set at the scheduled date!
⚠️ Note: if your content is not approved by compliance by your selected post date, the content will simply be published as soon as it's approved -
Post content*: this is your blog post! You'll recognize the editing tools available to you - similar to our "Rich Text Editor" sections. Feel free to enhance your post by incorporating various multimedia elements. You have the ability to include videos, images, attachments, and so much more!

Featured image: the image you add here will appear next to your post summary on the main blog landing page, as well as on your post:
📸 Recommended image size: we recommend that the image layout be either landscape or square and, at most, 800 pixels wide. The platform will appropriately downscale the feature image for the blog thumbnail image.

Publish Your Post: Once you're happy with your post, click on the "Publish" button to submit your post to compliance. Once your post is approved, it will appear on your blog's landing page. ✔️
