Add a blog to your LaunchMyStore

A blog drives organic search traffic, builds brand credibility, and gives you a place to talk about products in depth. LaunchMyStore ships with a full blogging engine — multiple blogs, articles, tags, SEO meta, comments, and theme-customizable layouts.

Open the Blog admin

1. Sign in to your admin.
2. Go to Online Store > Blogs.
3. Click Add blog to create a new blog (you can have several — for example "News" and "Recipes"), or open an existing blog to add articles to it.

Write an article

1. From the blog detail page, click Add blog post.
2. Enter a Title — keep it descriptive and SEO-friendly.
3. Write the Content in the rich-text editor. You can paste images, embed videos, format headings, and add product links.
4. Set a Featured image for the article — it shows on listings and social shares.
5. Add an Excerpt (1-2 sentences) shown on the blog index.
6. Add Tags for filtering and related-content links.
7. Fill in SEO title and SEO description under the SEO section — these become the meta tags Google reads.

Save or publish

• Save as draft — keeps the article private while you finish writing.
• Publish — makes it live immediately at /blogs/<blog-handle>/<article-handle>.
• Schedule — set a future publish date.

Customize the blog look

Open the theme customizer (Online Store > Themes > Customize) and pick Blog posts or Blog article from the template dropdown. You can change the layout, sidebar, related-articles section, and comment block per template.

Comments

Comments can be enabled per blog. From the blog settings choose Off, On (auto-publish), or On (moderate before publishing). Moderation queue lives at Online Store > Blogs > Comments.

FAQ

Can I have more than one blog?

Yes. Many stores keep a "News" blog and a "How-to" blog separately so they can lay out and link them differently.

How do I link a product inside an article?

Use the link button in the editor and paste the product URL (or pick from the resource picker). Buyers can click straight from the article into the product page.

Does the blog have RSS?

Yes — every blog has a feed at /blogs/<blog-handle>.atom. Some marketplace apps also push new articles to email subscribers automatically.

How do I get blog articles ranked on Google?

Fill in SEO title and description, use clear H2/H3 headings, link internally to relevant products and other articles, and add alt text on images. Articles are indexed automatically (no need to submit each one).

Can I add custom metafields to articles?

Yes. Articles support metafields just like products. Define them under Settings > Custom data > Articles, then fill the values per article. Themes can read them via {{ article.metafields.<namespace>.<key> }}.
