Marketing Blog

Manage your hosted site's blog posts: write, publish, edit, and delete articles.

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

1
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.
2
Find your posts
The list shows every blog post for the site, each with its title, its live URL path (/blog/the-slug), and a Published or Draft badge. The Blog tab header shows the total count. Switch to the Glossary tab if you want glossary terms instead, they share this same screen.
3
Add a new post
Click New post (top-right). A side panel opens. Enter a Title, an Excerpt (the short summary that shows on the blog index), and the article in the Body (HTML) box. Add an SEO description so the post reads well in search results. Tick Published to put it live, then click Save.
4
Edit an existing post
Click the pencil icon on any row to reopen it 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.
5
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.
6
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.

What the buttons do

Select Client: Top-right dropdown. Chooses which client's website blog you are editing.
Blog / Glossary tabs: Switch between the site's blog posts and glossary terms. The number in each tab is its current count.
New post: Opens the side panel to create a new blog post.
Pencil (Edit): Reopens a post in the side panel to change its title, excerpt, body, SEO description, or published state.
Eye / Eye-off (Publish / Unpublish): Toggles whether the post is live on the site. Eye publishes a draft, eye-off takes a live post down.
External link (View live): Shown only for published posts. Opens the live blog page on the client's site in a new tab.
Trash (Delete): Permanently removes the post after a confirmation prompt.
Save: Saves the post you are editing. A title is required.

Common questions

What is the difference between Draft and Published?

Draft posts are saved here but are not visible on the live site. Published posts are live at /blog/the-slug on the client's website. Use the eye icon to switch between the two.

Can I change a post's URL after publishing?

No. The slug is locked once the post exists so any links pointing to it keep working. If you truly need a different URL, create a new post and delete the old one.

Do I have to write the HTML myself?

You can, in the Body (HTML) box, but you can also ask your Website Developer agent to write blog posts for you. The agent drafts them straight into this list.

Why does the page say the client has no website?

Blog posts only exist for clients with a hosted SalesHive site. Until that client's site is set up, there is nothing to manage here.

Is this the same as the Glossary page?

Yes, it is the same editor. The Blog page just opens on the Blog tab. You can switch to the Glossary tab at any time without leaving the page.
