Home > Website > Blog > Blogger.
Here, you can provide a description of the blogger and set an avatar. A preview of the blogger’s information will appear at the end of the blog post.
Organizing Blog Categories
For easy organization and navigation, Empress allows you to group your blog posts into different categories. To create a new Blog Category, navigate to:
Home > Website > Blog > Blog Category.
You can view a list of blogs under a specific category by selecting the See on Website option in the sidebar.
Optimizing with Meta Tags
Meta tags are essential for improving your blog post’s visibility on search engines and social media platforms. They provide a brief overview of a webpage’s content.
In Empress, you can add a meta description and image for your blog post under the SEO section. This helps optimize your blog post for search results, enhancing your business’s online visibility.
Note: If you leave the meta description or image fields empty, Empress will automatically use the blog introduction or the first image in the blog as a default.
