Write A Blog Post, from The EDM Guide to Shopify. This covers all 6 sections, in about 1 minute.

Blog posts live under Content. Posts belong to a blog, and most stores only ever need the default one.

Click Create blog post.

Write the title. Clear beats clever; it is also what search engines show.

Write the body here: text, images, video and product links.

The excerpt is the short summary that listing pages and social shares use.

A featured image fronts the post on listing pages.

Edit the search engine listing so the title and description read well in results.

Set visibility: publish now, keep it hidden, or schedule a date.

Posts belong to a blog. Need a second one, say news versus guides? Manage blogs adds it.

Click Save, and the post is live on your blog.
