How can I create a new blog post?

This is a step-by-step guide for creating new blog posts.

1. Administrators can create new blog posts by accessing the backend side menu 'Content' > 'Blog" (or directly via the link /admin/content/blog). The blog administration view offers a list of all posts available and a button in the top right to add a new post.
   
   
   
   
2. Click the button "Create new post"
3. You will see a new form, as in the screenshot below
   
   
4. Please fill in the form by filling out the following fields. Fields marked with * are required for a post:
   • Title *
   • Summary: Short plain text to add some introduction to the teaser
   • Category *: Refers to the taxonomy "Blog category" and allows one value per article.
   • Tags: Refers to the taxonomy "Tags" and allows to not only add multiple values per term, the field also allows to freely create new tags right in this view.
   • Date *:
     • The date that appears on the frontend and influences the search ranking (most recent articles are on top).
     • Note that it is not automatically reset when the article is updated. It is also not connected to the "created" date in "Authoring information" in the sidebar.
   • Author: Free text field that appears on the frontend.
   • Image *: Image upload which is used for the teaser and header image. Once uploaded, you can add the copyright information of the image in the field "caption".
   • Featured: If enabled, the blog post will appear as "featured article" / "advertorial" in the top row.
     When the expiration date is reached, the blog will automatically no longer be featured, so it will only appear as normal blog.
   • Content rows *: You can add an unlimited number of paragraphs to a post. Please find more information on available content row types in this article.
     
     
5.  If you wish to publish the article already, make sure to set the article to "Published".
6. Click "Save".
