How do I add a blog to my existing website?

[Fotg2404]

The title of this thread has been edited from the original: What happened to the blog feature?

Why can I not add a blog to my existing website? I have searched other topics and see articles by Weebly and others indicating just to add the page and choose blog. Did something change recently? I noticed something called "stories" but that seems like a very poor choice for starting a blog.

Hi @Ronin! Thanks for reaching out and welcome to the Seller Community. 

You can engage with new and existing buyers by creating Stories in Square Online. Stories work just like blogs, where you can highlight a new item, suggest a recipe, or provide personal updates to your site visitors.

Each Story is an individual post that is automatically displayed on your site’s Stories Overview page. Your visitors can then share those Stories to their social media accounts using the built-in sharing buttons.

To add Stories to your site:

1. Go to your Square Online site editor, and select the +Add button.
2. Select Page from the menu. Then choose Stories Overview, and select Add to create the new page.
3. Select Create a new story to start your first post.
4. Select the page to begin editing the text, and use the options in the sidebar to customize the appearance of the post.
5. When finished, select Publish to make your Story go live.

Hey! There are a few ways you can do this, but if you want to use Square's Stories feature, you can do this by adding a new page, selecting Page, then scrolling down to select Story.

Let me know if this helps. 🙂

Hi @musicaltheatreu - Thanks for reaching out to us here on the Square Seller Community.

I went ahead and merged your post to an existing thread where other Square Sellers and our Moderators have been discussing using blogs on the Square Online Store.

I hope this information is helpful but please do let us know if you have any additional questions.

HOT TO PUT A BLOG ON YOUR EXISTING WEBSITE

Listen up fokes. This is not rocket 🚀 science.

You get a free interactive blog @weebly.com.

Once you have your blog set up. Go to your Square website, or ANY existing website. 

Look at your navigation menu. You have 'home', 'about', ect...RIGHT? right 👍

Open your website editor and you want to ADD A NEW PAGE, but except it won't be a page that you're adding. YOU ARE ADDING YOUR ENTIRE WEEBLY BLOG.

To add your blog, go to your blog HOME page. Look up in your browser at the top and COPY AND PASTE this link to the NEW PAGE YOU JUST ADDED on your existing website.

Now name that NEW PAGE something like 'Your blog' so your visitors know it's their blog.

SAVE AND REPUBLISH.

See my website with the free Weebly blog:

Paul,

Do you know if your blog will increase the overall SEO for organic searches on Google by structuring it this way?

Thanks!
