Blogger publishing checklist: blog selection, labels and status
Check the correct Blogger destination, labels, article status and rendered media before publishing or sharing a scheduled article.
By the Postly Team
Before you start
Use the Google account authorized to publish to the intended blog. Public read access and permission to create posts are different; publishing requires authorization.
Prepare and review the release
- Connect Blogger through its supported authorization flow and select the exact blog. Check the public domain as well as the blog's display name.
- Prepare the title, body and labels. Use labels readers can navigate consistently rather than creating a new label for every keyword variation.
- Choose the supported draft or published status and review the scheduled timing in Postly. Inspect the article's images and links before release.
- Open the final Blogger article and verify its theme rendering. Copy the published permalink into the social campaign after the article is available.
Worked example
A school maintains separate parent-news and staff blogs. An event recap belongs on parent-news, uses the Events label and links to the public term calendar. The reviewer checks the blog domain before approving the post.
If something goes wrong
- Blog absent: confirm the Google account and its access to that blog.
- Article remains a draft: inspect the selected status and publishing result before creating another copy.
- Layout breaks: check image dimensions and the destination theme's rendering of the article body.
