Writing a Blog Post
Learn how to create a new blog post with the rich text editor, add images, and publish it to your website.
Creating a blog post on TribeNest is simple. You have a powerful visual editor that lets you format text, add images, and style your content -- no technical skills needed.
Creating a New Post
- Open your dashboard and go to Blog in the sidebar.
- Click the Create Post button in the top right corner.
- You will see the blog post editor with fields for your title, content, cover image, and more.
Writing Your Content
Adding a Title
Enter a clear, descriptive title for your post. This is the first thing fans will see, so make it count. Your title must be at least 5 characters and can be up to 200 characters long.
Using the Rich Text Editor
The content editor gives you full control over how your post looks. You can:
- Format text with bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough
- Add headings to organize your content into sections
- Create lists using bullet points or numbered steps
- Insert images directly into the body of your post
- Add links to other pages, your store, your music, or external sites
Just highlight text and use the formatting toolbar to style it however you like.
The editor works like a word processor. What you see while writing is what your fans will see on your website.
Adding a Cover Image
A cover image is the main visual that represents your post. It appears at the top of the post and in any previews or listings on your website.
- In the Cover Image section, click the file upload area.
- Choose an image from your computer.
- A preview of your image will appear so you can confirm it looks right.
For the best results, use a square image that is clear and high quality.
Image tips
Make sure your cover image is relevant to your post and visually appealing. This is often the first thing fans notice when browsing your blog.
Setting a Publish Date
You have two options for when your post goes live:
- Publish immediately -- Leave the "Published At" field empty and your post will be published as soon as you save it.
- Schedule for later -- Pick a future date and time in the "Published At" field. Your post will automatically go live at that time.
This is great for planning content in advance. You can write several posts at once and schedule them to publish over the coming days or weeks.
Marking a Post as Featured
If you want a post to stand out on your website, check the Featured Post checkbox. Featured posts are highlighted and given extra visibility on your blog page.
You can have multiple featured posts at a time, but use this sparingly so it stays meaningful.
Saving Your Post
When you are happy with everything, click the Create Post button at the bottom of the form. Your post will be saved and, depending on your publish date settings, either go live immediately or wait for the scheduled time.
If you change your mind, click Cancel to go back to your blog posts list without saving.
You can always come back and edit your post later. Nothing is permanent until you are ready.
