Overview
The Blog page is where you manage the blog posts on your hosted SalesHive website. Each post lives at /blog/your-post on your site and is a longer, search-friendly article for your buyers. It uses the same editor as your glossary, just pinned to the Blog tab. You can write posts yourself, or ask your Website Developer agent to draft them for you.
How to use this page
Pick the client
Blog posts belong to one client's website. Use the Select Client dropdown in the top-right to choose the client whose site you are editing. If that client does not have a hosted website yet, the page tells you so and there is nothing to manage until the site is set up.
Find your posts
The list shows every blog post for the site, each with its title, its live URL path (/blog/the-slug), its category, and a Published or Draft badge. The Blog tab header shows the total count. Use the search box to filter by title, slug, or category, and Clear search to reset. Switch to the Glossary tab for glossary terms instead, they share this same screen.
Add a new post
Click New post (top-right). A side panel opens. Enter a Title, an optional Category, an Excerpt (the short summary that shows on the blog index), and the article in the Body (HTML) box. Optionally set an SEO title and SEO description so the post reads well in search results (the SEO title defaults to the post title). Tick Published to put it live, then click Save.
Edit an existing post
Click a row (or its pencil icon) to reopen the post in the side panel. The slug (the URL path) is locked once a post exists so existing links keep working. Make your changes and click Save.
Publish, unpublish, or view live
Use the eye icon to publish a draft or unpublish a live post in one click. Once a post is published, an external-link icon appears, click it to open the live page on the client's site in a new tab.
Delete a post
Click the trash icon to remove a post. You will be asked to confirm because this is permanent, the post and its page come down for good.
