Write, edit, schedule and delete posts in Blogger

Writing a post is simple. The details that cause trouble are scheduling, time zones and the email address for posting.

Write and publish

1. Sign in to Blogger and click New Post.
2. Write the title and the post.
3. Click Preview to see how it will look.
4. Click Save to keep it as a draft, or Publish to make it public.

Edit or delete

To edit, click Posts under the blog name, click the title, make your changes, and preview. For a published post click Update (or Revert to draft to take it offline). For an unpublished post click Publish or Save. To delete a post, point to it in the list and click Delete when it appears. One of Blogger's troubleshooting notes says that you cannot delete a post written by someone else (ask the blog administrator).

Schedule a post

1. Open the post from Posts.
2. On the right sidebar, next to Published on, click the drop-down arrow.
3. Choose Set date and time, pick the date and time on the calendar and click Publish.

To reschedule, click Revert to draft and set the time again. The hour depends on your time zone setting: open Settings, go to Formatting, click Time zone, choose your zone and click Save. Check it before the first scheduled post.

Post by email

In Settings, in the Email section, click Post using email. Choose whether emails are published at once or saved as drafts, and create the secret address (it looks like username.secretword@blogger.com). Then email that address: the subject is the post title, the body is the post, and you finish with #end on its own to mark the end. Attach a picture to include it. Blogger warns: anyone who emails that address can post on your blog as you, so never share it.

Read more links

On the home page readers see a preview of each post and a "Read more" link. Add the break in the editor where the preview should end. A short preview makes the home page lighter and shows more posts.

Structure that helps readers and search engines

• Use headings (H2, H3) from the Paragraph menu for sections. Blogger's SEO tips recommend headers and titles under about 60 characters.
• Give pictures a short description and an "alt" text (see the images page).
• Use labels for topics (next page).

Mistakes to avoid

1. Publishing without a preview on a phone.
2. A scheduled post that appears at the wrong hour because the time zone was not set.
3. Posting by email from an address you shared.
