This guide explains how to add and configure a blog module on your website created with Site Creator Infomaniak.

Introduction

• There is no functionality to manage multiple users in the Blog section (or in Site Creator).
  • Several users from the same Organization who have access to Site Creator (via their web hosting access permission, for example) can publish on the blog, but the author's identity will remain the same for all.
• There is no way to write and save entire blog pages in "draft" mode.

Start a blog on Site Creator

Start by logging into the Infomaniak Manager with your credentials (user with the necessary rights for the product in question):

1. Click here to access the hosting & site management section (filtered to display only Site Creator).
   • If nothing is displayed, you may not be in the Organization to which your site is linked (❓: help).
2. Click on the name of the Site Creator in question:
   
3. Click on the button to edit your site:
   

Once in Site Creator, on the page where you want to insert your future blog posts:

1. Click on the + button located below an already inserted block:
   
2. Click on Applications (in the Content tab that opened when you clicked to add the visual block).
3. Click on the Blog module:
   
   • If this is the first time you are inserting this module, you will see the following visual block with an example of the first article published (go to point 4 below):
     
   • If you have already tested the Blog module and removed it from your pages, you will see this:
     
     1. Press the top option to insert the main block.
     2. Press the second option to display a block with the 3 most recent articles publishedonly if you have already inserted a main block elsewhere on the site.
4. Once the Blog module is inserted, hover over the block and click on the menu button with three horizontal lines ☰ Blog, then click on ‍ New article to insert a blank article:
   

Publish content using artificial intelligence

To write content and, if necessary, improve your drafts, you can use the Euria artificial intelligence, as is the case on the other pages of Site Creator. Learn more in this other guide about the model used by the writing assistant and the responsibilities of each party:

1. Choose an image for the banner, enter a title, an optional subtitle, and the body of the article with different formatting options:
   
2. Press the + sign next to the article text or use the Tab key on your keyboard:
   
3. Select the content, then click on it to display a text formatting toolbar.
4. From this toolbar, access the AI-powered features (translation, rewriting, correction, etc.):
   
5. Publish by clicking the Publish button (or save the draft for later).
