This guide shows you how to create, optimize, and publish a blog post on your PushPress website using the site editor. We’ll cover writing your post, adding images, and publishing it the right way.

Before You Start
Make sure:
You have access to your website editor
If you don't, you can request access here
Blog posts are enabled on your site
You can also submit a request to the team to enable blogs for your website if you do not have them on by default.
Step 1: Log In to Your Website Editor
Go to your website URL and add ?edit to the end
Example: yourwebsitename.com?edit
Log in when prompted
Once logged in, you’ll see a menu bar at the bottom of the page
Step 2: Open Your Blog Collection
From the bottom menu, select Collections
Find and click Blogs or Blog: Articles
(The name may vary slightly, but it will include “Blog”)
This is where all your blog posts live.
Step 3: Create a New Blog Post
In the top-right corner, click Add New Blog or + New Blog: Article
A new blog entry will open for you to fill out
Step 4: Fill Out the Blog Details
Complete all required fields, including:
Title
This is the main title of your blog.
URL / Slug
This is created automatically from your title. You can edit it if needed.
Category
Choose a blog category (for example: Fitness, Nutrition, News).
If you only have one option, select the general category.
Author
Select or enter the name of the person who wrote the blog.
Blog Summary / Description
Write a short summary of your post.
This helps with search results and should include keywords related to your topic.
Step 5: Add Your Blog Content
Write or paste the main content of your blog into the body section.
Important Header Tip (SEO Friendly)
Your blog title is your main header
Only use one main header
Any headers inside your blog should be smaller (like section headers)
This helps search engines understand what your page is about.
Step 6: Upload and Optimize Images
Main & Thumbnail Images
Upload both a main image and a thumbnail image
Images should be 500px by 500px
You can resize images using a free tool like:
Image SEO Best Practices
Rename image files before uploading using keywords
Example: at-home-workouts-no-equipment.jpg
When adding images inside your blog content:
Add alt text (a short description of the image)
Alt text helps search engines and improves accessibility.
Step 7: Add Images Inside Your Blog (Optional)
If you add images within your blog content:
Choose how the image is displayed (centered, left, right, large, etc.)
Always add alt text that describes what’s in the image
Example alt text:
“Gym front desk with workout equipment in the background”
Step 8: Publish, Save, or Schedule Your Blog
When you’re finished, use the options in the top-right corner of the blog entry:
Publish – Makes the blog live right away
Save Draft – Saves your work without publishing
Schedule – Publishes the blog on a future date and time
⚠️ Important
Do not use the main site “Publish” button.
Always publish from inside the blog post itself to avoid publishing other unfinished site changes.
Troubleshooting
My image looks stretched or blurry
Make sure the image is sized to 500px by 500px before uploading.
I don’t see my author listed
Add the author in the Author section, then return to your blog post.
My blog isn’t showing on my site
Confirm you published the blog entry itself and didn’t just save it as a draft.
