Tools to use while Writing your Blog | The Studio Blog platform has a ton of amazing tools that will allow for your blog to not only reach a ton of people but also allow it to look stunning!


Tools for Aesthetics


  • Title | When choosing a title for your Blog Post, we recommend doing it after you have finished writing your post. This is mainly because you want your title to encompass the general idea of the whole post, meaning that when you have written your piece you will then know what the main idea is.


  • Text | The text that you put into your blog is the main thing that you are going to use in order to convey the message you have. You can edit the style of your text when you highlight it. To see the different possibilities of how you can style your text, please reference the infographic found below.



  • Content | Adding content to your blog doesn't only mean words. Your blog needs to have some spice and color to it in order to attract an audience. So, we went ahead and wrote down our secrets to adding great content your audience will love!


*To access content click enter, and select the "+" icon, or scroll down to the bottom of the post and choose from the context menu there.


  • Images | To upload the image you’re going to want to click on the camera icon in the + menu or the lower left-hand corner. From that point on, whether you are on a computer or mobile device, you will have to choose the image you want to upload that has something to do with your blog and provides a great visual. When you have uploaded an image, clicking on it will allow for another menu to pop up. This menu is the way that you can edit the image right from the blog workspace.



  • Gallery | A gallery is a great way to upload many pictures and make them look presentable! Click on the gallery icon, and then select the images you want. To edit how your gallery looks please reference the infographic found below.



  • Video | To add the video click on the “Add a Video” option on the film camera icon. There you will be instructed to add a URL link, and it will automatically be added. From that moment on you have some options as to where you would like to have your video in the post. Clicking on the video will allow you to access the editing tab. For how each icon works look on the infographic provided below. We recommend that you make your video large and center so that it is the main thing attracting the audience.



  • Divider | The divider is a great way to separate content throughout your blog to make it look more professional. Clicking on the divider button will make a divider pop up in your blog workspace. Click on the divider in order to access the divider edit menu. Please reference the infographic below in order to understand what each button on the infographic means.




Reaching an Audience


  • Using hashtags (#example) is a great way for you to reach a bigger audience. We recommend that you keep your hashtags relevant to the content that is found in your blog. This way when a member searches for something in the website search bar, they will be able to find your blog, getting you a view and maybe even alike!

  • Adding a category to your website is a great way to allow for the blog to be viewed by the target demographic. To add a category scroll down to the "Publish" button. Next, to it, you will see 3 verticle dots. Clicking on them makes a drop-down menu appear. Click on the "Add a category" icon, and chose the category right for your blog!

SEO

  • To change the URL of the Blog, all you have to do is click on the text box under the name, "What's the post URL?".

  • To change the name of the post that appears in search engines, click on the text box under, "What's the title on search engines", and you can edit it from there. If you do not change anything in this option the name will stay the same as the title you have given on CreatorCo.

  • To give a short description on what the post is about so that anyone coming from search engines understand the main idea of the post, you can edit the description by clicking on the text box under, "What's the post about?", and proceeding to type out what you feel is necessary to say. If you do not edit this, the description will be the first 300 or so words from your post.

Drafts

  • Saving Drafts | To save a draft all you have to do is click on the three vertically placed dots next to the "Publish" button on the lower right-hand side. Then a drop down menu will appear where you will proceed to click on the "Save Draft".

  • Editing Drafts | Just as you found the drafts under the profile, there you will have all of the drafts that you have saved. To edit them click on the three verticle dots in the upper right-hand corner of the box, and click on "Edit Draft".
