Integrating a Blog Post into Your Funnel Website

Step 1: Writing and Structuring Your Blog Post

The process of creating a blog post involves several important steps, from the initial setup to the final content and SEO configuration. Follow these steps to get started:

Begin a Fresh Blog Post:

1. Navigate to Sites > Blogs and press the “+New” button to initiate the setup of a new blog. 

2. Click on “Create a New Blog Post.”

3. Input a compelling title for your post.

4. Upload a cover image for the blog (the maximum size is 10MB, with recommended dimensions of 600px * 400px).

5. Add an Alt Text for the cover image, then include a post description. Once satisfied with your content, hit “Create Post” to save.

Enhance Your Content with Formatting:

Use the editor toolbar to refine your blog post. You can:

• Apply different text styles like bold, italics, underline, and strikethrough.
• Modify fonts, styles, and sizes.
• Organize content with bullet points, numbered lists, indents, or task lists.
• Highlight key sections using color or emphasis.
• Embed media, such as images or videos from YouTube, or add links to external content.
• Incorporate quotes to emphasize specific parts.
• Clear or reset formatting as needed.

Finalize and Share Your Blog Post:

• Custom URL Slug: Set a custom path for your post.
• Post Category: Place the post in an appropriate category defined in the settings.
• SEO Keywords: Include relevant keywords to boost your post's search engine ranking.
• Post Author: Assign the correct author (configured in the blog settings).
• Review the details before publishing, and choose to either publish immediately, backdate, or save as a draft. 

Step 2: Integrating the Blog Post with Your Website or Funnel

To ensure your readers can easily find and access your blog posts, you'll need to integrate them into your website or funnel. Here's how to do it:

Set Up or Modify a Funnel/Website:

1. You can either create a new funnel/website or add a page/step to an existing one.

2. Click the edit button to enter the page editor.

Incorporate the Blog Post List Element:

1. Select the element called "Blog Post List."

2. Opt for either the Standard or Compact display layout.

3. Adjust pagination settings to control how many posts appear on each page.

4. For better navigation, consider adding a category menu and footer links to your blog page. 

Configure Domain and Landing Page Settings:

1. If necessary, assign a domain to your site through the Funnel/Website Settings.

2. To make your blog the default landing page (e.g., blog.mydomain.com), go to Settings > Domains > Edit Domain and set the blog page as the Default Page.
