The live blog editor lets you write, format, and publish posts in real time. This page explains how to manage posts. For creating a new blog, see Creating a live blog.

Writing a post

1. Open your blog in the dashboard.
2. In the Content tab, enter a headline and write your post in the rich-text editor (Summernote).
3. Use the toolbar for formatting: bold, italic, lists, links, tables, images, videos, and embeds.
4. Optionally assign a category (if enabled for this blog).

Adding images & embeds

• Image — Click the image icon in the editor toolbar or use the Insert image button to upload an image. It will be inserted at your current cursor position.
• Social embed — Click the Share (embed) icon to paste a YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or RSS link. The widget automatically fetches a preview and inserts a ready-to-publish card directly into your post editor.

Scheduling a post (publish later)

By default, posts are published immediately when you click Publish. To schedule a post for a future date and time:

1. Switch to the Metadata tab in the editor.
2. Enable the Schedule post checkbox.
3. A date/time picker will appear — choose the exact publication date and time.
4. Click Publish. The post will stay hidden until the scheduled moment, then appear automatically on your live blog.

Note: Scheduled posts show a clock icon in the post list. You can edit or delete them before they go live.

Managing existing posts

• Edit — Click any post in the live preview (right panel) or the post list to reopen it in the editor.
• Delete — Use the delete button on a post to remove it permanently from the live blog.
• Reorder — Posts are ordered by publication date (newest first). Adjust the scheduled or published time to change the order.

Keyboard shortcuts

• Ctrl/Cmd + S — Quick save (draft)
• Ctrl/Cmd + Enter — Publish / Schedule
• Esc — Close modals (image upload, embed dialog)

Social media dashboard

In the social media dashboard panel, you can monitor and pull content from the social media feeds configured in your template. You can switch between different feeds (such as Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and RSS) by clicking their respective icons.

A post consists of 2 or 3 elements: (a category), a headline and the content. The headline will be shown above the content, but can be left empty. The content can be written below the headline.

You can use the editor to make up your text. You can also insert an image in the text: Click "Image" above the editor, choose the image on your computer or smartphone and click "upload". The image will be inserted where your cursor is pointed.

You can also insert a social media element, such as a tweet or a video from a social network. Copy the link of the item and click the "embed"-button. Insert the link in the form and a preview of the embed will be shown to you. If you agree, you can insert the embed by clicking "embed" in the dialog.

Here, you can scroll through all the posts that have been published to your liveblog.

If you want to edit or delete a post, you can do so by clicking "message options" below the post.

In the social media dashboard, you can follow all the social media accounts that you have selected in a social media template. The following streams are currently supported:

• Twitter: Shows the latest tweets of the selected usernames
• Facebook: Shows the timeline of the selected usernames
• Instagram: Shows the latest uploads of the selected usernames
• YouTube: Shows the latest video uploads of the selected usernames
• RSS: Shows the latest items on a website of the selected RSS feeds.
