Article 2.5: Creating & Managing Static Pages

Learn how to create, edit, and manage static pages like About, Contact, and Privacy Policy in Blogsitefy to build a well-structured and informative blog.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Pages vs. Posts — What’s the Difference?

Pages are for information that rarely changes, like “About Us” or “Contact.” These stay put and don’t show up in your main blog list.

Posts are regular updates, news, or stories that appear by date on your blog homepage.

Use pages for important, always-there info, and posts for everything else!

Step 2: Creating a New Page (Page Creation Workflow)

  1. Go to your Blogsitefy dashboard.
  2. Click Pages in the left menu.
  3. Click Add Page (the plus icon in the General tab).

In the Page Editor, write your content—add text, images, and links as needed.

To update your page details, fill out these important fields in the “Save Page” or “Update Page Details” sidebar:

  • Page URL:
    Enter or adjust the link where your page can be accessed (e.g., blogsitefy.com/blog/about).
  • Meta title:
    Use between 40–50 characters. Include relevant, commonly searched keywords for SEO (e.g., About Blogsitefy Blog | Powered by Blogsitefy).
  • Meta description:
    Keep it under 160 characters. Write a concise summary that accurately describes your page; this will be shown in search engine results (e.g., Explore the official Blogsitefy blog—built and published with Blogsitefy. Learn tips, updates, and insights on effortless blogging from Google Docs!).

When all fields are complete, click Save or Update to save your changes.

Step 3: Managing Your Pages (Published & Draft)

  • On the Pages screen, you'll see your listed pages under "General" (published pages) and "Draft" (private work-in-progress).
  • Published pages are visible to everyone, while drafts are only visible to you.
  • Click on any page title to edit its details or content.
  • You can save unfinished work as a Draft—it won't be public until you publish it.

Step 4: Common Types of Static Pages

Create pages for important info, such as:

  • About: Who you are and what your blog is for.
  • Contact: Ways for readers to contact you, maybe with a built-in form.
  • Privacy Policy & Terms: Legal stuff explaining how info is used on your site.

Visitors usually find these pages in your blog’s menu or footer.

Step 5: Deleting, Editing, and Visibility

To edit a page: Click the page name or title.

To view a published page: Click the "View Page" icon.

To delete a page: Click the trash icon; confirm to remove.

To sync content: Click the "Sync from Google Docs" icon.

Visibility: Drafts are private; published pages are public and are located under the General tab.

Always save or update your changes!

Tip

Think of pages like the big permanent signs in a museum—important and always there, while blog posts are like new events or announcements!
