How to add new posts

We recommend having GOTB set up your first post for you to ensure the routing and display of your posts are set according to your expectations. This is how you add new posts based on the example post set by GOTB. The idea is to simply duplicate an existing post that already has the correct settings & to simply alter the content and images:

1. 1. 1. Navigate to Posts in your dashboard and select All Posts
      2. Select the post you would like to duplicate
      3. Select Duplicate This on your desired post

   

   4. Your duplicated post will appear as a draft, which means it will not yet be published to your users

2. 5. Select Edit

6. Change title and slug (URL) of your post: Simply overwrite the old title in the text box
and click the edit button to alter the slug.

• Permalinks are the permanent URLs to your individual pages and blog posts, as well as your category and tag archives.
• Slugs are the URL-friendly names of your posts, pages, categories, and tags.

When writing your slug, ensure that you use only lower-case letters and fill any gaps with a hyphen: e.g. “website-training” rather than “Website Training”

7. Write your post’s Meta description & title:

• A meta description is an element in the HTML code of a web page that provides a brief description of the content of that page. Although the visitors of a website cannot see it directly, search engines such as Google use it to display a web page in search results, as seen on the right in the screen capture below.
• Your title should be no shorter than 40 and a maximum of 60 characters long.
• Your Meta description should not exceed 160 characters to be fully shown in the search result.
