Maybe you are just creating your blog, or you want to add it to your existing site. Either case, it is just a few clicks away.
<h2 id="setting-up-the-blog"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#setting-up-the-blog"></a>Setting up the Blog</h2>
<ol>
<li>First go to your <a href="/docs/site-editor/blog" title="Blog settings">Blog settings</a> from the <a href="/docs/site-editor/site-editor" title="Mixa Site Editor">Mixa Site Editor</a>, and enable the blog if it's not already.</li>
<li>Just by doing this, all your pages will be shown as a blog post at <code>yoursite.mixa.site/blog</code></li>
<li>If you have a specific folder for your blog posts, you can specify it in the "Blog Folder" field in <a href="/docs/site-editor/blog" title="Blog settings">Blog settings</a>. While you're typing, you should see matching pages below the input field. Anything you see in that list will be a blog post. This setting is useful to tell Mixa which pages should be treated as a Blog Post.</li>
<li>If you want to serve your blog somewhere other than <code>/blog</code>, you can also change it by using "Blog Page" in the <a href="/docs/site-editor/navigation" title="Navigation settings">Navigation settings</a>. If you want to show your blog posts as the home page of your site(<code>yoursite.mixa.site</code>), you can do it by using the "Home Page" field in the <a href="/docs/site-editor/navigation" title="Navigation settings">Navigation settings</a></li>
<li>Most people do not prefer to have the sidebar when they use the blog feature. You can disable the sidebar from the <a href="/docs/site-editor/features" title="Features settings">Features settings</a>.</li>
<li>If you have additional pages other than your blog posts (e.g. "about" page), go to the <a href="/docs/site-editor/navigation" title="Navigation settings">Navigation settings</a> and add them. They will show up in the navbar in the header.</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="writing-content"><a aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" href="#writing-content"></a>Writing content</h2>
Go ahead and create your first blog post by creating a new note, and add your content. To make things nicer, you have a couple of frontmatter options you can use in your blog posts
<pre><code>---
title: Why You Should Use Markdown For Blogging
description: We've all been there. Wasted our precious time styling our posts before publishing, and eventually got tired of ...
cover: "markdown-blogging.jpg"
date: "2023-02-20"
---
</code></pre>
title: By default, Mixa will use your file names as the title. This is not always desired as oftentimes you'll name your files like "why-you-should-use-markdown-for-blogging.md" so that your URLs look nicer.
Using white-spaces in file names is possible (e.g. "Why You Should Use Markdown For Blogging", but they'll look like this in the URL: 
<a href="https://yoursite.mixa.site/posts/Why%20You%20Should">https://yoursite.mixa.site/posts/Why%20You%20Should</a>...
This will not look great while you're sharing your posts on social media either.
So, a more common practice is using the dashed version as the file name and providing a <code>title</code> value in the frontmatter.
description: While listing your blog posts, Mixa will show the title of the post, but if you want to also show some description/excerpt of the post, you can add a <code>description</code> field in your frontmatter
cover: It is usually a good idea to add a cover image to your blog post. This makes it visually appealing, especially when you share your posts on social media. The URL can be anything(remote/local images) like you use in your markdown notes
date: Providing a date will help with two things. First, your users and search engines will know when it is published. Secondly, it will help your blog post page to sort your blog posts and show the latest posts at the top.
publishAt: This allows blog posts to be scheduled at a later date automatically. See details at <a href="/docs/features/scheduled-publishing" title="Scheduled Publishing">Scheduled Publishing</a>
Once you provide all this information, this is how it would look on your blog page
<img src="https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/resource.mixa.site/docs/img/blog-post-example.png" priority="1">
and this is an example if you paste the post link to Twitter:
<img src="https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/resource.mixa.site/docs/img/blog-post-twitter.png">
