Getting Started
Having a blog is a great way to keep your customers updated about the things you and your business are up to. It gives your company a personality so that customers and potential customers can relate to you more and can be used to promote new products and services you offer.
In addition to this, a blog can be very beneficial for your website SEO, as Google tends to favour regularly-updated content. It is also a great opportunity to get more of your targeted keywords onto your website.
Whilst compiling a blog post, the toolbar located at the top will have several buttons for you to access.
Clicking the +Add Block button will display the block filter menu, giving you access to all of the different blocks Create offers to build the blog post you need.
The Save drop-down button will give you access to saving a draft, publishing the post, or discarding changes and exiting
