Last updated 25 April 2026

Creating a new post

  1. Go to Blog in the portal navigation
  2. Click New Post
  3. Enter a title — a URL slug is generated automatically
  4. Write your content in the editor
  5. Click Save Draft at any time to preserve your work

Using the editor

The blog editor is a full rich-text editor. Use the toolbar to format your content:

Toolbar groupWhat it does
Text styleBold, italic, underline, strikethrough, superscript, subscript
HeadingsH1, H2, H3, and normal paragraph
ListsBullet list, numbered list, task checklist
AlignmentLeft, center, right
InsertLink, image, YouTube video, table, blockquote, code block, horizontal rule
ColorsText color and highlight color (10-color palette)
HistoryUndo and redo

Inserting images

Click the Image button in the toolbar, then either:

  • Upload an image file (JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF — max 5 MB)
  • Paste a public image URL

After inserting, click the image to resize it (small, medium, large, or full width) or add alt text for accessibility.

Inserting a YouTube video

Click the YouTube button and paste the full video URL. The video embeds inline in your post.

Tables

Click Table to insert a 3×3 table. Right-click any cell to add or remove rows and columns.

Set a featured image that appears as the post's thumbnail in listings and on social share previews:

  1. In the right sidebar, find Featured Image
  2. Click Upload Image or enter a public image URL
  3. The image must be at least 400 × 200 px

SEO settings

Expand the SEO section in the right sidebar to customise how the post appears in search results:

  • SEO Title — defaults to the post title; override for search results if needed
  • Meta Description — a short summary (150–160 characters recommended) shown under the title in Google

If you leave these blank, the post title and opening paragraph are used.

Tags and categories

Use Tags and Category to organise your post. Tags and categories help patients find related articles on your clinic profile.

Marking a post as featured

Toggle Featured Post in the right sidebar to pin the article to the top of your blog section.

Auto-save

The editor saves your draft automatically every 30 seconds. A cloud icon in the toolbar shows the save status:

  • Cloud with arrow — saving in progress
  • Solid cloud — saved
  • Cloud with warning — save failed (check your internet connection)

You can also click Save Draft at any time to save immediately.

Submitting for review

When your post is ready:

  1. Click Submit for Review
  2. The post status changes to Pending Review
  3. You cannot edit the post while it is under review — to make changes, contact support or wait for it to be returned

After admin approval the post is published automatically.

Note: Submitting a post does not publish it. It enters a review queue and typically goes live within 1–2 business days.
