Overview

With Amenitiz you can run your own blog directly on your website. A blog with good articles helps you rank better on search engines like Google and gives you another way to engage future guests.

This article walks through how to switch the blog on and add it to your website's menu.

Before you start

You need the Can edit the website permission to activate the blog and edit menus. If the buttons described below don't appear, ask your Account Owner to grant that access.
Activating the blog only prepares your site — you still need to add a link to your menu (step 2) and write your articles. See how to manage the blog articles and categories once it's set up.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Activate the blog

Go to Website → Blog in the sidebar.
Click Activate the blog!. Your website is then ready to host the blog.

2. Add the blog to your menu

Go to Website → Menus. Click the 3 dots next to the menu you want to change (the header menu is at the top of your site, the footer is at the bottom), then click Edit a menu.
Click Add menu item. If more than one button has that name, pick the last one in the list.
Add a title for the new item (it'll be displayed on your website) and select Blog index from the link dropdown.
Click Add and Save. A new link to your blog is now live on your site.

3. Change the blog's appearance

The blog's look is managed the same way as the rest of your website — open the website builder and head to the Blog page. See how to use the website builder for the full editor walkthrough.

FAQs

I activated the blog but it's not showing on my website — what's missing?

Activation only prepares the site. You still need to add a menu link (step 2 above) so visitors can reach it, and create your first article via how to manage the blog articles and categories.
