This guide explains how to add and manage blog posts for your site in ScaffolderJS.

Where to Find Blog Management

  1. Go to My Sites (or Home).
  2. On your site card, open the More actions menu (⋯) and choose Blog.
  3. You’ll see your blog management page with:
    • A list of existing posts
    • Options to create, edit, and delete posts
    • Pending articles (if you use the Share API)

Creating a Blog Post

  1. On the blog page, click Add Post or Create Post.
  2. Fill in:
    • Title — The post headline (required)
    • Content — Full text in Markdown (supports headers, links, images, lists, etc.)
    • Author — Your name or attribution
    • Category (optional) — e.g. News, Tech, Updates
    • Image (optional) — Featured image for the post
    • Published — Check to make it visible; uncheck to keep as draft
  3. Click Save or Publish.

Editing a Post

  1. Find the post in the list.
  2. Click Edit.
  3. Update the fields you need.
  4. Save.

Deleting a Post

  1. Find the post in the list.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Confirm.

Categories

  • Assign a category (e.g. “News”, “Tech”) to organize posts.
  • When adding a blog section to a page, you can filter by category so only posts from that category appear.
  • Use the same category names consistently so filters work correctly.

Showing Your Blog on Your Site

  1. In the Site Builder, add or edit a page (e.g. “Blog”).
  2. Add a blog section (blog-list, blog-grid, or blog-featured).
  3. Turn on Load posts from blog API.
  4. (Optional) Set a Category if you want to show only posts from that category.
  5. Save and build your site.

Your blog posts will load automatically when visitors view that page. You do not need to enter an API endpoint or site ID — the system uses your site automatically.

Pending Articles (Share API)

If you use the Share API (e.g. with the browser extension), you may see Pending Articles at the top of your blog page.

  • Publish — Converts the shared article into a blog post.
  • Discard — Removes it from the queue.

Tips

  • Use Markdown for formatting: **bold**, *italic*, [links](url), headers with #, lists, and more.
  • Add a featured image so posts look better in list and grid layouts.
  • Use categories to keep posts organized and to filter what appears in different sections.
