1 - Navigate to "Marketing" tab:

• Click on "Marketing" to manage your website.

2 - On the left hand sidebar, click locate "Blogging" to find your blog settings to start creating a new post: 

• A. Posts: This is where you will see your current gallery of blog posts. 
• B. New Post: Clicking on "+ New Post" will allow you to create a new blog post. 
• C. Drafts: If you have any blog posts unfinished, they will appear here. 
• D. Comments: If you have blog posts that have comments enabled, those comments will appear here for you to see and approve of publishing to the blog post. 
• E. Labels: Click on "Labels" to see your tags and relabel them as desired.
• F. Settings: This option has all your blog settings, which allow you to enable or disable automation (new listings, sold listings, and open houses), create multiple blogs to build separate categories for your posts, and more. 

3 - After clicking on new post, you will be able to start creating your blog post: 

• A. Write your blog title: This area is for your blog title. It also acts as the Heading 1 tag of your page so be sure to write a title that's search friendly for SEO. 
• B. Main Image: This main image area allows you to upload an image from your computer or to select an image from the web drive, including the two different stock libraries: Unsplash & Pexels. 
• C. Text Editing Options: You can toggle the following options here along the top in your blog post: 
  
  • Heading Style: Choose between 5 different heading labels to adjust the size of your headings or plain text for just the paragraph option. 
  • Bold & Italics: Simple bold and italic commands like your regular text editor. 
  • Alignment : Choose to align text left, center, or right. 
  • Bullet or Numbered List: Choose the option to create bullet points or a numbered list inside your blog post. 
  • Link: To use the link command, highlight the text you want to link, and click on this button to hyperlink as plain text or to change the text into a button. Note: the button takes on the colour of your website's accent colour! 
  • Undo / Redo : These toggles allow you to undo a change you've made, or the opposite. 
• D. Editing the body of your blog: This blue "+" button will appear once you tap your cursor in the body of the blog. This will then allow you to start typing, or choose from a set of options as shown on the screenshot above to style your blog post with a different layout than just plain text. 
• E. Blog Settings: The blog settings provide several options for customization:
  • Choose where to post your blog if you have multiple blogs.
  • Update the author's name, image, and email.
  • Create a custom meta title and description for SEO purposes.
  • Select the publication date, allowing you to backdate posts if needed.
  • Include labels, which serve as tags to categorize and group blogs for your readers based on specific themes or topics.

• F. Publish Post: Clicking the arrow next to the "Save Draft" button reveals various publishing options.
  • You can choose to publish the post immediately.
  • Save it as a draft for further editing.
  • Clone it as a draft for creating similar posts, or delete it.
  • Additionally, there's an option called "marketing card" that enables you to design a custom graphic for social media to promote the blog post online.

That's it! You've successfully created your first blog post.
