Managing Your Blog Articles

Accessing Your Articles

Go to your dashboard and select Blog from the sidebar. You will see a list of all your articles sorted by date, with their current status displayed as Published or Draft.

Editing a Published Article

1. Find the article in your list and click its title or the Edit button.
2. Make your changes in the editor. Auto-save keeps your progress safe.
3. Click Save to apply the updates to the live article.

Edits take effect immediately. There is no separate review queue for updates to your own articles.

Understanding Article Status

Each article has one of two statuses:

• Draft -- Visible only to you. Use this status while you are still writing or when you want to temporarily hide content.
• Published -- Visible to everyone. The article appears in the blog feed, on your profile, and in search engine results.

Unpublishing an Article

If you need to take an article offline without deleting it:

1. Open the article in the editor.
2. Click Unpublish.
3. The article moves back to draft status.

This is useful when content needs updating or is no longer relevant but you want to keep the text for future reference.

Organizing With Categories and Tags

You can update an article's category and tags at any time:

• Change the category by opening the article and selecting a new one from the category dropdown.
• Add or remove tags in the tags field. Use terms that accurately reflect the content.

Consistent use of categories and tags helps readers find related articles and improves your content's visibility in search.

Deleting an Article

To permanently remove an article:

1. Open the article from your Blog dashboard.
2. Click Delete and confirm the action.

Deletion is permanent. The article and all its comments are removed. If you are unsure, unpublish the article first so you can restore it later.

SEO Considerations

Every published article is automatically optimized with structured data and a meta description. If you update the title or meta description, search engines will pick up the changes during their next crawl. Keep your meta descriptions under 160 characters for best results.
