These steps assume you are logged-in to your DX1 website.

Adding Posts

1. Navigate to your Blog page.


2. Click the NEW POST! button


3. The new page automatically opens on the Contents tab - which is the main post editor

  • Add a title in the field below "Title:"

  • Add content to the HTML editor

  • At this point you can click SAVE & the post will be created with the content being copied over to be used as the Post's Summary.

    • If the post has multiple paragraphs, only the first one will be used for the Summary.

    • Main Blog list view

    • Individual Post view



Editing a Post

1. You can edit a Post either from the Blog "list" page or from the Post "detail" page

  • To edit from the Blog List

    • Click the MANAGE button

    • Click the POSTS tab

    • Click the Pencil in the Actions column next to the Post you want to edit

  • To edit from the Post Detail

    • On the Blog List page, click the title of the Post you want to edit

    • Click the EDIT POST button


2. The next page is the same as when adding a Post - tabs for Content, Summary & Metadata, & Publishing Details

  • Content tab

    • Update/edit the post after initial creation

    • Making changes to content at this point will not update the Summary that shows on the list page

  • Summary & Metadata - everything on this tab is optional.

    • Updating the content here will change the Post preview on the List page

    • Uploading an image will add it next to the Post on the List page, as well as a banner on the Post Detail page

      • The bad news is these images are not the same size or aspect ratio

      • The best size is 1140x642, where the main subject is centered vertically 121px off the top & bottom edges.  This will keep the full image on the List page, and the cropped image for the Post Detail will still have the important parts.

    • Tags can be used to group posts together.  These can be created directly from the Summary tab.

      • Once a tag is created, it will show up in a dropmenu when adding to another Post (you just have to start typing)
