On the next page, you can edit the information in the preview of your blog post.
Please note: If you're on the Expert Website subscription tier, you can link your blog posts with Expert Linking on this Setup page.
On the Setup page, you can change the following:
- Blog Post Title - The title that shows on the preview of the blog post and the blog post.
- Publish Date - The date that appears on your blog post's preview.
- Featured Image - The image that appears next to your blog post's preview.
- Blog Post Excerpt - The preview text that gives a snippet or summary of the blog post.
Once you fill out the information on the Setup page, click the "Next" button.
Formatting your blog post
Once you set your blog's preview information, you can create and format the blog content. Formatting a blog post is similar to creating a page in the Website Builder.
The blog Compositions, Content, and Container blocks live on the right side of the blog editor.
You can drag and drop blocks onto the page and customize the appearance.

To learn more about the different Content blocks, view the Introduction to the Basics of the Sitebuilder 3.0 article.
NOTE: The title of the blog post will automatically display on the blog post, so you don't need to add a Header block to a blog post.
When you finish editing a block or the page, be sure to click all the Save buttons. You can click the eye icon to preview the blog post.
