Create a Blog Post

How to create a new blog post in Resytech using the block editor, including all available fields, content blocks, and image uploads.

Create a blog post whenever you want to publish content to your customer-facing website -- whether it is a seasonal promotion, a how-to guide, an event announcement, or an article designed to attract search traffic. Posts start as drafts, giving you time to refine them before going live.

Before you begin

You need access to the Resytech Dashboard.
If you want to assign categories, create them first.
Have your post content, images, and any SEO metadata ready.

Steps

Create the post shell

In the sidebar, click Blog to open the blog list page.
Click the New Post button in the top-right corner. The post creation form appears.
Fill in the post fields:

Field	Required	Description
Title	Yes	The headline of your post. Used to auto-generate the URL slug if you do not set one manually.
Categories	No	Select one or more categories to tag the post. Categories appear as clickable pills -- click to toggle.
Excerpt	No	A short summary displayed on post cards and in search-engine results. Keep it concise.

Expand the SEO Settings panel to optionally configure the URL slug, meta title, meta description, and author. See Optimize Posts for SEO for details on each field.
Click Save as Draft. The post is created and you are redirected to the edit page.

Add content with the block editor

On the edit page, click the Edit Content button (or the large "Edit Content" card) to open the full-page block editor.
Use the Toolbox on the side of the editor to add content blocks. Drag or click blocks into your post. Available block types are organized into four categories:

Text blocks

Block	Description	Key properties
Heading	Section title or subtitle.	Text, Level (h2/h3/h4), Alignment (left/center/right).
Text	Rich text paragraph with inline formatting.	Content (rich text editor), Alignment (left/center/right/justify).
List	Bullet or numbered list.	List Type (unordered/ordered), List Items.
Quote	Blockquote with optional attribution.	Quote Text, Attribution, Style (default/large/bordered).

Media blocks

Block	Description	Key properties
Image	Photo or illustration with optional caption.	Image (upload), Caption, Alt Text, Size (full/medium/small), Alignment.
Image + Text	Side-by-side image and text layout.	Image (upload), Image Alt Text, Image Position (left/right), Text Content (rich text), Vertical Alignment (top/center/bottom).
Table	Data table with configurable rows and columns.	Table Data (headers + rows), Striped Rows toggle.
Video	YouTube or Vimeo embed.	Video URL, Caption.

Interactive blocks

Block	Description	Key properties
Alert	Callout box for tips, warnings, or notes.	Type (info/warning/tip/success), Title, Content.
Accordion	Collapsible FAQ or section list.	Items (question/answer pairs), Style (default/bordered).
Button	Call-to-action link button.	Button Text, Link URL, Style (filled/outline), Color, Alignment, Open in New Tab toggle.
HTML	Raw HTML code block for custom embeds.	HTML Code.

Layout blocks

Block	Description	Key properties
Divider	Horizontal separator line.	Line Style (solid/dashed/dotted), Line Color, Width (full/medium/short).
Spacer	Vertical whitespace.	Height (small/medium/large).

Click any block on the canvas to select it and edit its properties in the Property Editor panel.
Reorder blocks by dragging them up or down on the canvas.
When you are finished editing content, click Save Content (or press Ctrl+S). An "Unsaved changes" badge appears in the header whenever you have pending edits.

Upload a featured image

Return to the post edit page (click the back arrow in the content editor header).
In the Featured Image section, click to upload an image file. The image is stored and a thumbnail is generated automatically. This image appears on post cards in the blog listing.
To remove the featured image later, click the remove button on the image preview.

What happens next

The post is saved with a draft status. It is not visible on your public website.
To make it live, see Publish and Unpublish Posts.
You can return to edit the post at any time by clicking on its card in the blog list.

Tips

The slug is auto-generated from the title when you first create a post. If you need a custom URL, set the slug manually in the SEO Settings panel before saving. Slugs must be unique within your location.
Content images are uploaded per-post. Images you insert via Image or Image + Text blocks are stored under the post and served from the Resytech CDN.
Use the Leave Page Warning. The content editor warns you if you try to navigate away with unsaved changes. Save frequently with Ctrl+S.
Featured images are only available after the first save. You cannot upload a featured image on the initial creation form -- save as a draft first, then upload from the edit page.
Block content is stored as structured JSON, not raw HTML. This means your content is portable and renders consistently across devices.
