Create and Edit a Blog Post

Creating and editing blog posts in Recrevio is simple, flexible, and fully integrated into Web Studio. You write, design, and publish your content using the same visual editor and tools you use across the rest of your project – no plugins or external editors required.

This article walks you through how to create a new blog post, edit an existing one, and understand the main parts of the article editor. Detailed article-level settings (URL, author, date, tags, categories, comments) are covered in a separate guide.

Where to Create or Edit a Blog Post

To create or edit a blog post:

  1. Go to Web Studio
  2. Click Pages

  3. Open Blog

    From the Blog List view:

    • Click Add Post to create a new article, or
    • Click the title of an existing post to edit it

The blog post editor will now open.

This is where you create, write, and prepare your article for publishing.

Article Creation Overview

The blog editor is divided into a few clear areas that guide you from top to bottom:

  • Media selection (image, gallery, video, quote, or none)
  • Post title and summary
  • Main article content
  • Publishing controls (Update / Draft)
  • Article settings panel (covered separately)

Together, these give you full control over both content and presentation.

Choosing the Post Media Type (Top Tabs)

At the top of the editor, you’ll see tabs that let you choose how your article is visually introduced.

Available options include:

  • Image – A single featured image
  • Gallery – Multiple images displayed as a gallery
  • Video – A featured video
  • Quote – A highlighted quote as the visual focus
  • None – No featured media

This media appears at the top of the article and in blog listings, depending on your blog layout.

💡Tips

  • Use Image for most educational or content-driven posts
  • Use Gallery for tutorials, inspiration, or visual storytelling
  • Use Video if the article supports or explains a video
  • Use None for minimalist or text-focused posts

Click the plus (+) icon to upload or select media.

Post Title (H1)

The Blog Post Title field is where you name your article.

Important to know:

  • This title is used as the H1 heading on the post
  • It plays a key role for SEO
  • It’s what readers see first in blog lists and search results

💡 Best practices

  • Keep it clear and descriptive
  • Aim for one main idea per post
  • Avoid overly long or vague titles

Summary (Excerpt)

The Summary is a short description of your article.

It is used for:

  • The blog list preview
  • The meta description for SEO

Think of it as your article’s elevator pitch.

Best practices

  • 1–2 short sentences works best
  • Focus on value, not introduction
  • Write it to encourage clicking

💡 Tip

If you’re unsure what to write, use the built-in AI Assistant to generate or improve the summary based on your article content.

Writing the Article Content

Below the summary is the main content area, where you write the article itself.

Here you can:

  • Add text sections
  • Insert images, videos, buttons, and other widgets
  • Structure content with headings and spacing
  • Build long-form or short-form articles visually

This editor works the same way as the rest of Web Studio—drag, drop, and edit directly on the page.

Writing tips:

  • Use headings to break up content
  • Keep paragraphs short for readability
  • Guide the reader toward a clear takeaway or next step

💡 Tip

If you’re unsure what to write, use the built-in AI Assistant to generate or improve the blog content.

Generating and Improving Content with the AI Assistant

Inside the editor, you’ll see the AI Assistant.

You can use it to:

  • Generate text
  • Improve existing text
  • Expand short sections
  • Shorten or simplify content
  • Generate and fine tune the blog summary based on content

This is especially helpful for:

  • Drafting summaries
  • Refining tone
  • Improving clarity

You stay in full control – the AI assists, it doesn’t replace your voice.

Publishing Controls: Update vs Draft

At the top of the editor, you’ll find two main action buttons:

Update

  • Publishes the article if it’s new
  • Updates the article if it’s already published
  • Makes changes live on your site

Draft

  • Saves the article without publishing it
  • Keeps it hidden from visitors
  • Perfect for work-in-progress content

Both buttons save your work – the difference is visibility.

Article Settings (Overview)

On the left side of the editor, you can open the Article Settings panel.

From here, you can control things like:

  • Showing or hiding the header and sidebar
  • Enabling comments and approvals
  • Adding share buttons
  • Assigning tags and categories
  • Setting the post URL, author, and publish date

These settings are explained in detail in a separate article:

Article Settings (URL, author, date, tags, categories, comments)

Save, Preview, and Refine

Before publishing, it’s a good idea to:

  • Preview the article
  • Check spacing and readability
  • Confirm summary and featured media look right
  • Review mobile layout if relevant

You can always update posts later – blog content is meant to evolve.

Next Steps

  • Article Settings
  • Tags and Categories
  • Optimizing Blog Content
  • Using Blog Posts to Support Funnels, Courses, and Memberships
