The Blog & Articles plugin adds a blog to your website: you write in the Studio, and A3 iFrame takes care of the pages, search-engine details and publishing.
Turn it on
- Add Blog & Articles from the Plugin Gallery.
- Open your site in the Studio and choose Blog in the sidebar.
- A short setup asks for a blog name, its address (for example
/blog), a layout and some starter categories. Every step can be skipped.
Turning the blog on never publishes anything by itself. Your blog goes live the first time you publish an article.
Write an article
- From scratch — the editor has headings, lists, images, galleries, YouTube and Vimeo videos, tables, quotes, callouts, FAQs, buttons and call-to-action boxes. Drag blocks to reorder them.
- With AI — describe the topic, audience, tone and length. AI writes an outline first; once you approve it, it writes the article. Titles, tags, a meta description and other suggestions are offered for you to accept or reject. AI writing uses your A3 Credits, and the cost is shown before it runs.
Your work saves automatically. Use Preview to check the article on desktop, tablet and phone.
Publish and schedule
- Publish puts the article live and shows each step as it happens. If something fails, your live blog stays as it was and you can retry.
- Schedule sets a date and time — in your site's time zone — for an article to go live or to come down.
- The first publish also adds a Blog link to your site menu. If you have other unpublished changes on your site, you are asked whether to include them.
Organise and get found
- Group articles with categories (they can be nested) and tags, and add author profiles. Each gets its own page on your site.
- The SEO panel shows how your article will look on Google and when shared, and scores it with checks that never reward keyword stuffing.
- Structured data, a sitemap entry and an RSS feed are produced on every publish. If you change an article's address, the old one keeps working.
Good to know
- Blog pages use your website's fonts, colours, header and footer. You can change the layout under Blog → Design.
- Videos are added from YouTube or Vimeo rather than uploaded.
- Deleted articles stay in the trash for 30 days, and you are reminded a week before they are removed for good.
