Writing blog articles
News and articles for your storefront — event write-ups, restock announcements, deck guides. Needs the Blog feature.
Field by field
| Field | What to put |
|---|---|
| Title | The headline. |
| Excerpt | One or two lines summarising the post — shown on the blog index and used as the page description if you leave SEO description blank. |
| Content | The article itself, with formatting, links, lists and images. |
| Featured image | The picture shown on the index and when the link is shared. Remove image clears it. |
| Category | Groups posts — "News", "Events", "Strategy". |
| Tags (comma separated) | Free-text labels — "mtg, events, news" — that readers can filter the blog by. |
| SEO title / description | Under SEO (optional). Overrides for search engines; leave blank and they default to the title and excerpt. |
More than one language
If your shop sells in more than one language, tabs above the form — Default and one per language — let you write the title, excerpt and content again in each. Slug, category, tags, image and publish status are the same in every language, so they are edited on the Default tab only.
The slug
The article's web address. It follows the title until you touch it, and stops following the moment you do — so a headline you tweak after publishing doesn't quietly move the page out from under anyone who linked to it.
Draft and preview
A post stays a draft until you tick Published and save. Preview live opens it as customers will see it — worth a look before publishing, especially if you've pasted from a word processor.
Unticking Published again takes it off the blog index and off its own address: the link stops being a page at all rather than staying quietly reachable. Use it for something published by mistake.
Saving
This editor is quiet when it works — a successful save simply puts the article back in the list on the left. If something is wrong you get a red message instead, so no message is the good outcome. The box above that list filters the articles as you type.
