  • Title - here you can still change the name of the blog where you want to post the blog post.

  • Language - select the language of the blog post here. Is the correct language not listed? In the left menu of the back office, go to Settings > SHOP SETTINGS > Internationalization

  • Author - enter here your name (if you wrote the article yourself) or the name of the author.

  • Summary - a good summary invites you to read through. Describe briefly and concisely what your blog post is about.

  • Text - here you can post the full blog post.

  • Tags - tags are keywords that collectively describe your blog post. These tags are not only useful for your visitors, but are also found by the search engines.
    Do you want to rank high in search engine results? Then provide relevant tags. For example, if you are writing an article about the new Louis Vuitton bag collection, use tags such as: Louis Vuitton, women's bags, brand bags, etc.
