Managing your blog posts
To view and manage your blog posts, click Posts on the navigation menu.
After you create an account on DropInBlog, four demo posts will be automatically added to your Posts page.
When you open this page, it will look something like the image below.
To start a new post, select the Add Post button (1) on the right-hand side of the screen. The Help Article button (2) will take you to our support doc that shows how to add a new post to your blog in more detail.
To edit an existing blog post, click anywhere inside that post’s row, and you’ll be taken to the post editor.
To view the options for managing individual posts, look for the ellipses menu on the right side of the screen. You can expand this menu by clicking on it.
Doing so will open a dropdown with the following options: View Post, View Analytics, Duplicate Post, and Move to Trash.
View Post: Use this option to access the live version of your post or to check how your post looks to your visitors.
View Analytics: Once you connect your DropInBlog account with Google Analytics 4, you’ll have the option to view performance metrics for individual posts. To see the GA4 data for all of your blog posts, visit the Analytics page from the More dropdown in the top navigation menu.
Duplicate Post: This option lets you create a duplicate of the selected post in a single click. If you have a type of content you publish regularly, such as company announcements, you can use the duplicate option to create templates. That way, the selected type of content will use the same structure, resulting in a coherent look.
Move to Trash: To delete a post, select the Move to Trash option. Deleting a post will stop it from showing on your blog.
View Trash: If there are any blog posts in the trash, a View Trash link will show at the lower-left of the posts page. Viewing the trash will take you to a page from which you can restore or permanently delete your deleted posts.
At the top of the posts section, you’ll find the Filters button, and after you click on it, it will show you the available options for sorting your content.
Using these options, you filter your posts by post title (1) and get the post list to show only the post with the specific status (2), from a specific author (3), or in a specific category (4).
At the top of the post list, you’ll find six columns: SEO, Post Title, Categories, Author, Status, and Date. Clicking on the up and down arrow icon next to these columns (excluding Categories) allows you to choose the order in which your posts appear. You can sort your posts from lowest to highest SEO score, in alphabetical order (by title or author), by publication status (draft, published, and scheduled), and from newest to oldest.
For example, if you click on the arrows next to the Author column, it will first display all posts from one author, then all the posts from another author on your blog in alphabetical order.
You can also combine the filtering and sorting functionality. For example, you can filter by category and author, and then sort the results by their status.
To help you manage your content more easily, DropInBlog offers bulk actions that you can access by selecting the check box next to the SEO column.
If you don’t want to select all posts on a page, you can check the box only next to the posts to which you want to apply bulk actions.
Checking one or more boxes on a specific page will get the Bulk Actions dropdown menu to appear. The available actions are: Add Category, Remove Category, Set Author, Unset Author, Export Posts, and Move To Trash.
Add Category: Use this option to add one or more categories to the selected blog posts.
Remove category: Selecting this option will allow you to unassign a category from multiple posts.
Set Author: This option allows you to assign an author to the selected posts. Note, if the posts are currently assigned to a different author, that author will be removed and they will be reassigned.
Unset Author: Using this option, you can remove the assigned author from the selected posts.
Export Posts: Selecting this option will generate a CSV export file of the selected posts, and download it in your browser.
Move To Trash: If you have multiple posts to delete, you can use this option to delete posts in bulk.
And that’s how easy it is to manage your posts with DropInBlog.
