The blog app is available on the Starter plan and above.

In the left menu, go to Apps > Blog.
Enable the blog, enter your initial settings, and save your changes.
Use the "Add a post" link in the control menu to create your blog posts.
Add any kind of content to your posts using the drag and drop editor.
Use the "Post settings" button on the edit screen to manage post title, publish date, featured image, tags, SEO and more.
Review and edit posts you've already created with the "Manage posts" link in the left menu.
In the left menu, go to Pages > "Page ordering" button, and drag your main blog page to where you want it to appear in your main menu.
The blog page will display a "coming soon" message until you publish at least one blog post (the publish date must be on or before today's date for it to appear).

You can also automatically show a feed of your latest blog posts on the home page (or any other page). To do this:

Go to edit the page where you want to include the feed.
At the top of the content blocks menu (on the right of the edit screen), choose "App Blocks > Blog".
Decide which layout variation you want to use, and drag that content block to where you want it to display on your page.

When the blog app is enabled, a dedicated quick access panel is added to your dashboard. The panel displays:

5 most recently edited unpublished posts, with links to preview, edit contents, or post settings
Quick access buttons to jump straight to creating or managing posts
If you have enabled comments, a button to access your Disqus account

If you want to change the "blog" label in the menu, in the left menu go to Pages > Blog gear icon () > Rename link.
You can return to the edit post contents or settings at any time, and any changes you make, on any of the pages, will instantly be applied to your website.
