Blog Details

Title

The display name of your blog shown to customers.

Examples:

  • "News & Updates"
  • "Product Guides"
  • "Industry Insights"

Handle

The URL-friendly name used in your blog's web address.

  • Automatically generated from the title
  • Must be unique within your store
  • Uses lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens

Example: A title "News & Updates" becomes handle news-updates

Your blog URL will be: yourstore.com/blogs/news-updates

Default Blog

When you create your first article without any blogs:

  • A "News" blog is automatically created
  • This blog is pre-selected for your article
  • You can create additional blogs as needed

Blog Visibility

Blogs with published articles are visible on your store. The blog listing page shows all published articles within that blog.

SEO Information

Blog SEO information is automatically generated:

Field Auto-Generated Value
Meta Title Blog title
Page Title Blog title + Store name
Meta Description Store description

This keeps blogs simple while ensuring proper SEO.

Best Practices

  • Choose clear titles - Use descriptive names that tell customers what content to expect
  • Keep handles short - Shorter URLs are easier to share and remember
  • Plan your structure - Consider creating separate blogs for different content types (news, guides, announcements)
  • Start simple - Begin with one or two blogs and add more as your content grows
