With the help of Hostinger Website Builder<\/b>, you can create a blog quickly and easily!<\/p>

\n<\/p>

Before You Begin<\/h2>

Before starting, check this simple list of things to decide on:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

1. STRUCTURE<\/b>. Would you like your blog to be the essence of your website or just one of its constituent parts<\/b>? <\/b><\/p>

\n<\/p>

You can create a simple single-page website and display all your blog posts<\/a> <\/b>within that one page by using multiple website sections<\/a><\/b>. <\/p>

\n<\/p>

You may also have more pages<\/a><\/b> on your site: About<\/i>, Projects<\/i>, Contact<\/i>, etc. – Blog <\/i><\/b>being one of them. In general, you can easily insert blog sections<\/a><\/b> into any of your website pages.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

2. TOPICS & CATEGORIES<\/b>. What topic<\/b>(s<\/b>) would you like to write about on your blog<\/b>?<\/p>

<\/b><\/p>

If you plan to cover more than one topic, you may create multiple categories<\/a> <\/b>for your blog posts. <\/p>

\n<\/p>

3. TITLES<\/b>. Will your blog have a specific name<\/b>?<\/p>

\n<\/p>

If not, make sure that at least the titles of your blog posts stand out. Check these blog name generators<\/a><\/b> to find the perfect name! <\/p>

\n<\/p>

Enabling Blogging Tools<\/h2>

Firstly, make sure a blog module is enabled on your website: within the website builder, expand the Blog<\/b> management panel on the left. If you see any sample blog posts, it means that your website template already includes a blog section or a blog page. If you don’t see any sample blog posts, click Start a blog, <\/b>and a blog section (with a couple of sample blog posts) will be inserted into your page:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

<\/div>

​<\/p>

<\/div>

\n<\/p>

You can add multiple blog sections to your website pages and display different blog posts (by category<\/a><\/b>) in each of those sections. Within the builder, click the Add section <\/b>button that’s between any two sections:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

\"The<\/div>

\n<\/p>

From the menu, select Blog <\/b>and click on its thumbnail. This way, a blog section will be inserted into your page:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

\"Blog<\/div>

\n<\/p>

Use blog sections to display your blog posts on your website.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

Creating a New Blog Post<\/h2>

Within the builder, open the Blog <\/b>management panel on the left and click on Add new post<\/b>:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

<\/div>

\n<\/p>

This will take you to the blog post editor:<\/p>

\n<\/p>

\"Editing<\/div>

\n<\/p>

A blog post consists of two main parts:<\/p>

    \n
  1. \n

    The header<\/b> contains the title, description, author, publication date, and reading time of a blog post<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      You can edit this information in the blog post settings<\/a> <\/b>(except for the reading time – it’s calculated automatically)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      You can show or hide this information in the blog post header settings<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      The body <\/b>contains the main content of the article: texts, images, videos, etc.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

      You can add various sections and elements to your blog post anytime. Learn how to manage blog settings<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>

      \n<\/p>

      Tips<\/h2>

      Make sure the content is reader-friendly and the website is easy to navigate overall. Keep the design clean and consistent, and avoid using too many fonts<\/a><\/b>. Check if the colors are contrasting and don’t clash: for example, keep away from light text on a light\/colorful background or dark text on a dark\/colorful background. Learn how to change the overlay opacity<\/a><\/b> of the section background or add background color to text elements<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>

      \n<\/p>

      As more than 50%<\/a><\/b> of website traffic comes from mobile devices, remember to check the mobile version<\/a><\/b> of your blog. <\/p>

      \n<\/p>

      To let the world know about your blog, you can share links to your articles on various social media platforms. Before doing so, make sure to add featured images<\/a><\/b> to your blog posts – they’ll be visible on social media platforms as link preview images.<\/p>

      \n<\/p>

      With the help of custom code<\/a><\/b>, you can embed third-party integrations into your blog posts, for example:<\/p>
