Writing and Publishing Your Posts

Posts are where you share your ideas. Every post includes your text, a main photo, and special settings that help people find your content on Google.

1. Creating a New Post

To start, go to your Blog Dashboard and click the New Post button in the top-right corner.

2. Using the Post Editor

Writing in Levo is just like writing in a regular document. What you see on your screen is exactly what your readers will see.

• Basic Formatting: You can use Bold, Italic, Lists, and Links.

• Organization: Use Headings (H1 to H6) to break up your text.

• Rich Content: You can also add Blockquotes (for important sayings), Code Blocks, and Inline Images.

3. Post Settings

The panel on the right side holds all the "behind-the-scenes" details:

• Title & Description: This is the headline and short summary that will show up on your website's list of articles.

• Cover Image: This is the "thumbnail" or main photo that sits at the top of your post.

• Authors: You can pick who wrote the post. You can even list multiple authors if it was a team effort!

• Categories & Tags: Use these to keep your posts organized (like "News" or "How-to Guide").

4. Google and Social Media (SEO)

Inside the settings, you can also control exactly how your post looks when it's shared:

• Google Preview: Customize the title and description specifically for search engines.

• Social Media: Pick a special image and title for when people share your link on sites like X (Twitter) or Facebook.

• Reading Time: You don't have to do any math! Levo automatically calculates how long it will take someone to read your post.

5. Status and Publishing

You have three choices for your post's lifecycle:

• Draft: You’re still working on it. It’s private.

• Published: It’s live on your website for everyone to see.

• Scheduled: You can pick a future date and time, and Levo will automatically publish it for you!

6. Dashboard Views

• Table View: See all your posts in a simple list. This is best for seeing authors and dates at a glance.

• Calendar View: See your posts on a monthly calendar. This is great for planning when you want your next story to go live!
