1. Choose the Platform or Framework
- If your website is built with a CMS like WordPress:
- Use the “Pages” section to create a new page.
- Install a blog plugin (if needed) or enable blog features within your theme.
- If you’re using a custom-built site (HTML, CSS, JS):
- Create a new HTML page for the blog.
- Use a CMS framework (e.g., Ghost, Strapi) or integrate markdown files for managing content.
2. Set Up the Page Layout
- Add a page titled Blog or News in your navigation menu.
- Design the layout to include:
- A list or grid for blog posts.
- A sidebar for categories, tags, or recent posts (optional).
3. Create a Blog Content Management Structure
- Static: If you’re using static pages:
- Create separate HTML files for each post.
- Use consistent formatting for the blog post title, date, and content.
- Dynamic: If you’re using a backend system:
- Set up a database table for storing blog posts (title, content, date, images, tags).
- Write scripts to fetch and display posts dynamically on the Blog page.
4. Add Functionality
- Search and Filter: Allow users to search posts or filter by category/tag.
- Pagination: Show a limited number of posts per page with “Next” and “Previous” buttons.
- Sharing: Add social media share buttons for each post.
- Comments: Integrate a comment system like Disqus or a custom comment box.
5. Style the Page
- Use CSS to match the blog page with your site’s theme.
- Highlight featured posts or categories for better engagement.
6. Add Content
- Write or upload your first blog/news articles.
- Use engaging headlines and include images, videos, or GIFs for visual appeal.
7. Integrate SEO
- Add meta tags for each blog post (title, description, keywords).
- Use descriptive URLs for posts (e.g.,
tontondfm2u.cfd/blog/post-title). - Optimize images and include alt text.
8. Test the Page
- Check for responsiveness (desktop, tablet, mobile).
- Test all links, navigation, and buttons.
