Posts

The Posts section lets you write and manage blog content for your portfolio website. Posts support rich text editing, featured images, tags, excerpt summaries, and SEO settings. The distribution model is designed around "write once, choose distribution" — the same content can be published to your website, sent as a newsletter, or both.

Post List

The post list shows all your posts with:

• Title and last updated timestamp (relative time)
• Tag previews (first 3 tags)
• Status badge: Draft, Published, Sent, Published & Sent, or Archived
• Sent indicator icon (if the post was sent as a newsletter)

Click any row to open the editor.

Actions

The action menu on each post row (Member+ only) offers:

• Edit — Open the post editor
• Publish to Site — Make the post live on your website
• Mark as Sent — Record that the post was sent as a newsletter
• Publish & Send — Both publish and mark as sent
• Revert to Draft — Pull the post back to draft from any state
• Archive — Move to Archived status
• Restore to Draft — Bring an archived post back to Draft
• Delete — Permanently remove the post (Admin+ only)

Creating a Post

1. Go to Site > Posts
2. Click New Post
3. Enter a title — a URL-safe slug is generated automatically (shown as /blog/slug)
4. Write your content using the rich text editor
5. Add an excerpt, featured image, and tags in the Metadata section
6. Optionally fill in the SEO fields
7. Set the status when ready
8. Click Save

Post Editor

The full-page editor has five sections:

Post Details

• Title — The post heading
• Slug — URL path shown as /blog/your-slug (auto-generated from title, editable)
• Status — Choose from the distribution options (see Status Workflow below)

Content

The same rich text editor (Tiptap) used in Pages — with bold, italic, headings, lists, blockquotes, links, images from your media library, text colors, and highlights.

Metadata

• Excerpt — A brief summary displayed in post listings and newsletter previews
• Featured Image — Pick from your media library. Shows a thumbnail preview with options to change or remove
• Tags — Comma-separated labels (e.g., "fashion, spring, editorial") used for filtering and organization

SEO

• SEO Title — Override the browser tab title (optional)
• Meta Description — Description for search engine results

Preview Mode

Toggle between Edit and Preview using the toolbar button. Preview renders the post as it would appear on your website:

• Featured image as a full-width hero
• Tags as badges
• Title as a large heading
• Excerpt as lead text
• Horizontal divider
• Formatted content

Status Workflow

Posts have a richer status model than pages because they support two distribution channels:

You can move between states freely:

• Draft → Published, Sent, or Published & Sent
• Published → add Sent to become Published & Sent
• Any published or sent state → Archived
• Archived → Draft (restore)

Note: Only posts with status Published or Published & Sent appear on your portfolio site. Draft, sent-only, and archived posts are never served by the API.

Newsletter Distribution

The Send Newsletter button exists in the post editor toolbar, but newsletter sending is coming soon. Clicking it currently shows a "coming soon" notification. When available, it will send the post content to your mailing list subscribers.

The Sent and Published & Sent statuses already work for tracking distribution — you can manually mark posts as sent if you distribute newsletters through another tool.
