Creating a blog post
Write your post
Enter a title (3 to 200 characters) and write your content using the rich text editor. The editor supports formatting, headings, lists, links, images, and more.
Add a featured image
Upload a featured image that appears at the top of the post and in blog listing pages. This is the primary visual for your article.
Assign a category (optional)
Select a category to organize your post. Categories help readers browse related content and keep your blog structured.
Post statuses
Every blog post has one of four statuses:| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Draft | The default status for new posts. Draft posts are not visible on your storefront. Use this while you are still writing or editing. |
| Published | The post is live on your storefront and visible to visitors. A published-at timestamp is set automatically when you publish. |
| Scheduled | The post will be published automatically at the date and time you specify. Until then, it is not visible on your storefront. |
| Archived | The post is hidden from your storefront. Use this to retire a post without deleting it. |
You can move a post between statuses at any time. Scheduling a post requires setting a future date and time — Crevio automatically publishes it when that moment arrives.
Scheduled publishing
Set a future date and time to have a post go live automatically. When you set a post’s status to Scheduled:- You choose the exact date and time for publication
- The post remains hidden from your storefront until then
- At the scheduled time, Crevio automatically transitions the post to Published
Categories
Organize your blog posts with categories. Each category has:- A name (2 to 50 characters, unique per account)
- An optional description (up to 500 characters)
- An auto-generated slug for its URL
Featured images and social media images
Each blog post supports two types of images:| Image type | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Featured image | Appears at the top of the post and on blog listing pages. This is the main visual for the article. |
| Social media image | Used as the Open Graph image when the post is shared on social platforms (X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Slack, etc.). If not set, the featured image is used as a fallback. |
SEO metadata
Each blog post has optional SEO fields that control how it appears in search engines and social previews:- SEO title — Up to 60 characters. Displayed as the page title in search results.
- SEO description — Up to 160 characters. Displayed as the snippet beneath the title in search results.
Excerpts
Every post has an excerpt — a short summary shown in blog listing pages and RSS feeds. You can:- Write a custom excerpt — Enter your own summary text for full control over how the post is previewed
- Let Crevio auto-generate it — If you leave the excerpt blank, Crevio strips the HTML from your content and truncates it to 200 characters as a preview
Blog indexability
Control whether search engines can index your blog posts using the indexable toggle. By default, all published posts are indexable. When indexability is turned off for a post:- Search engines are instructed not to index the page
- The post is still accessible via its URL, but it will not appear in search results
- Time-sensitive announcements you do not want lingering in search results
- Internal-facing content shared via direct link
- Posts you want to soft-launch before making discoverable
