Switching the blog on#
Every website has a blog waiting to be switched on. In the site Blog tab, Settings opens the panel: Turn on the blog, an address (blog by default, so posts live at /blog/...), a name and an introduction shown at the top of the blog index.
The other setting that shapes daily use is what a single post is called: a Post, an Article or News. It changes the wording in the editor and the blog itself, and nothing else.

Turn on the blog
Every website has one waiting. Switching it off later hides it everywhere without deleting a thing.

- 2Switch the blog on and keep the default address unless there is a reason.
- 3Name it in a way you will still like in a year, for example The Your Company blog.
What visitors get#
Visitors get the blog index at its address, with the newest posts first, and a page per post with its cover image, tags and author. The Latest posts block can drop the newest posts into any page, usually the home page.
If search engines are allowed the site, blog posts are offered to them with their own titles and descriptions. AI assistants read the blog like other pages, unless you switch them off for the site.

Good to know: Switching the blog off hides it everywhere without deleting it. Posts and subscribers wait for whenever it returns.
Common questions
Can the blog live at a different address, like /news?
Yes. The address field accepts any lower-case word. Change it before the blog is shared anywhere, so you do not need a redirect later.
Do blog posts count as pages for search?
Yes, each post is a real page at its own address, with its own search title and description.
