Your blog sits in the same calendar as your posts. Write the article in Postfjord, pick your site next to Instagram and LinkedIn, and set a time. Postfjord publishes it with its title, cover picture, excerpt and tags.
One idea, the same week
A bakery in Portland writes about its new sourdough. The article goes to the website on Monday at 8:00 AM. On Tuesday a Reel shows the first loaf, and on Thursday a LinkedIn post tells why the recipe took a year.
All three sit on one screen. Move the article to Wednesday and the week still reads in order.
What an article has
What goes to your blog
- Title: the headline. Every article needs one.
- Text: paragraphs, headings and lists. Web addresses turn into links.
- Cover: the first picture becomes the article's cover.
- Excerpt: a short summary for your blog's lists, up to 300 characters.
- Tags: your hashtags become the article's tags.
- Live or draft: it goes live at the time you set, or lands as a draft for a last look on your site.
Where it publishes
- WordPress: your own WordPress site, at any web host. Sites on WordPress.com do not work yet.
- Ghost, in testing: Ghost(Pro) and Ghost you host yourself.
- Wix, in testing: the blog on your Wix site.
- Shopify blog, in testing: a blog in the Shopify store you connected to Postfjord.
