Blog
Overview
Blogs allow you to continuously publish articles on your website, such as tutorials, case studies, industry insights, event announcements, or brand stories. Each article has its own URL, search settings, and publication status; you can write a draft first and publish it individually after confirmation.
Articles are not the same as regular website pages. Website pages are suitable for introducing fixed services or brand information; blogs are suitable for content that is continuously added, categorized, and followed by readers. Published articles will appear on your blog list, category, and tag pages, and visitors can also subscribe to updates via RSS.
Before You Start
- You can create and edit article drafts first.
- To make articles visible to visitors, your website must be published, and your account needs to be on a plan that supports blog publishing, currently Kanorio Pro or Business.
- Prepare your article title, content, featured image, and the next step you want readers to take after reading.
Go to Blog Management
Open article management from the "Blog" section in the backend. This lists all drafts and published articles, allowing you to search, add, open, or delete them.
If you want to adjust categories, tags, authors, how article information is displayed, or sharing buttons, open Blog Settings.
Create Your First Article
1. Add Article
Click "Add Article" in the "Blog" section. The system will create a draft and take you to the full-screen article editor.
2. Fill in Title, Summary, and Featured Image
Start with a clear title that explains what readers will gain. The summary will be used in article lists and share previews, so it should briefly describe the article's main points.
The featured image should represent the article's topic. If your article content includes your own photos, case studies, or product shots, they usually build more trust than generic stock photos. Also, write ALT text for images within the content to help accessibility tools and search engines understand the image content.
3. Write the Content
The article editor uses a What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) approach. You can create headings, paragraphs, lists, quotes, links, dividers, code, tables, and images, as well as add CTAs, FAQs, collapsible content, and supported embed blocks.
For long articles, it's recommended to use H2 and H3 to structure paragraphs. This makes it easier for readers to scan and helps them jump to specific sections when you enable a table of contents.
Some text editing areas support AI writing after selection. Treat AI-generated content as a first draft, especially for prices, dates, regulations, medical information, financial details, or warranty promises, which must be confirmed by you.
4. Set Categories, Tags, and Authors
Set categories, tags, and authors from the article's SEO panel:
- Categories: Group articles with similar themes, such as "Brand Strategy" or "Client Case Studies."
- Tags: Use more specific keywords to describe content, such as "Logo," "Web Design," or "Restaurant Startup."
- Author: Display the individual or team member who wrote the article, including their name, avatar, and bio.
An article can have multiple categories, tags, and authors; the first category will be considered the primary one. If you don't have the necessary items yet, you can create and manage them from Blog Settings.
Set Up Article SEO and Share Preview
After opening an article, click "SEO" in the toolbar. You can set the search title, search description, keywords, canonical URL, search engine indexing options, and the title, description, and image used for social sharing.
Each article should have a unique search title and description that accurately reflects its content. Avoid keyword stuffing; it's more important for readers to understand the article's value in search results than to cram in more words.
If you don't upload a custom share image and the automatic share image feature is enabled, the system will generate a share preview based on the article title and brand style. After completing the settings, check the actual display effect using the public URL.
Draft, Publish, and Republish
Articles are automatically saved as drafts. Drafts are only visible to you and authorized team members in the backend and will not appear on the public blog, in search engines, or via RSS.
Articles are published individually: publishing one article does not publish others simultaneously, nor does it require republishing the entire website. Before the first publication, ensure your website is live, the article content is complete, and you are on a plan that supports blog publishing.
Published articles can still be edited; new modifications will be saved as a draft first. After checking, click "Publish" again to update the public version. If you no longer want to make an article public, select "Unpublish" from the article toolbar, and it will revert to a draft.
Scheduled future publishing is not currently supported. To publish on a specific date, complete the draft first and then publish it manually at that time.
Manage Blog Pages and Display Options
Your public blog has fixed pages for the homepage, categories, tags, and authors. To adjust the layout, number of columns, titles, or SEO for these article collection pages, open "Pages" > "Blog Pages" in the editor.
In Blog Settings, you can also control whether published articles display the author, date, reading time, categories, tags, and table of contents, as well as which sharing platforms to offer. These global display settings are applied directly to the public blog and do not require going through the website's draft publishing process.
RSS Subscription
When your website has published articles, the system automatically provides an RSS feed. Readers can subscribe to new articles in their RSS reader by appending /rss.xml to your website URL, for example, https://yourbrand.com/rss.xml.
RSS only includes currently published articles. Drafts, unpublished articles, and websites that are not yet public will not appear in the subscription content.
How Blogs Help with SEO
Continuously publishing articles that answer your target audience's questions helps search engines understand your expertise and gives existing visitors a reason to return.
Instead of chasing post volume, focus on ensuring each article answers a specific question. Start with common customer questions, service processes, real-life examples, or commonly misunderstood concepts, and include links to relevant service pages or contact information within the article.
Quick Tips
- Focus each article on one topic, e.g., "What to Prepare Before Hiring an Interior Designer for the First Time," rather than cramming all service content into one post.
- Before publishing, check titles, featured images, tables, buttons, and embedded content on your mobile device.
- Add at least one relevant category and one to three meaningful tags to each article to help readers discover related content.
- Provide a natural next step at the end of each article, such as booking a consultation, viewing case studies, or contacting you, so readers know where to go next.
