Hi. Newbie here and struggling to get my head around a few things after congratulating myself on learning some of the simpler stuff!
I put a blog on my website. In the past, I used blogs that you can log into from anywhere and write a post any time, attached to sites that you create and edit live.
But it looks to me like you create Sitely sites offline and upload when complete, so how do you efficiently add a new blog post daily? Do you have to add to the site on your local drive and then re-upload every time you want to add a post?
I actually prefer to create and edit the site offline, but it seems a bit cumbersome to have to reupload again and again just to add blog posts? Am I missing something?
Thank you to all the helpful community members. And to Duncan. I’m loving using Sitely.
@Rainey the best way to look at Sitely, amongst other things, is that it behaves like a local CMS. Sitely generates static websites instead of “dynamic” which needs a database to run it. Sitely isn’t run by a database.
So yes, whenever you want to add a new blog post you do that in Sitely and when done just hit the Publish button. For me this is simple; I have control over the blog post layout, control of on page SEO, etc, etc… and just hit Publish!
As side note: Once you have created the one Blog Post you can either create a new blog post or duplicate the one you have already created and up date its content.
Thank you once again, FlaminFig. Always a great help.
I guess my big problem, which is not in any way a fault with Sitely, is that I am always struggling to access my web server, and just hitting Publish is likely to fail 70% of the time. I need to find a way to resolve that. The hosting company’s support isn’t great.
Maybe on that server issue it would be best to run it past @duncan.
Duncan might have better insight on how Sitley is having issues with your hosting server?
