How to publish blog articles to your website

Connect a publication, review a formatted article, and verify the live URL before sharing it.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Connect the publication

    Choose the exact site in Channels and confirm it grants permission to create an article. Start with a draft on the destination when supported so you can review the article in the site’s theme.

  2. Prepare the article in Blog publishing

    Write a descriptive title and use headings to organize the article. Add links, images, and useful image descriptions where supported. Check the article readiness panel for missing basics.

  3. Review settings for each site

    Choose the supported categories or tags, feature image, and draft or publish status. If you cross-post, check whether the destination lets you set the original as the preferred URL. For WordPress SEO fields, verify the plugin and API permissions.

  4. Confirm the live article and share it

    Check the result for each destination. Open the live URL as a visitor and verify visibility, images, headings, and links. Use that URL in a separate social or email announcement.

Example

A software team publishes release notes on WordPress and a copy on DEV.to. It reviews a WordPress draft, sets the original URL on the DEV.to version, and confirms the WordPress article is public before scheduling its announcement.

Troubleshooting

Readers cannot open the article
Check whether the provider saved a draft or scheduled it for later. Open the article outside your signed-in session to confirm it is public.
Formatting or SEO fields are missing
Review how the provider rendered the article and which fields it supports. Check WordPress plugin access before editing SEO fields there.
