  • Login to VIA

  • In the left hand menu go to Website > Blogs

  • Click Add

  • Give your blog a Name. This will be used to search for blogs in future should you need to edit/amend it, so name your blog something self descriptive to ensure you can easily find it in future. We recommend you give you use the same name as your title for ease

  • Tags. You can add tags to your blogs so you can group/filter articles of the same type. The Tags will be available as a drop down list in your main blog page, so your website users can see all blogs of the same type by selecting the drop down. For example, if you post articles about regular charity work you do, you can add the tag Charity. If a user then selected Charity from the drop down list, they would then see all blogs tagged with this word. You can add multiple tags to an article, separated by a comma. PLEASE NOTE You should be consistent in using the same set of tags in your articles and group your articles by specific tags to keep a concise and clear list of blog grouping. You should not use this section to add keywords for SEO. This is not needed, and will make your blog seems cluttered and unwieldy.

  • Valid From. You can select a date from which you want the article to be available online. This allows you to write articles ahead of time and publish them on specific future dates. If you are publishing the article on the same day, just enter today's date. PLEASE NOTE: In order for your blogs to filter by newest/oldest first correctly online, please make sure every blog has a valid from date. It is this field which is used on the newest/oldest filter, so blogs without a valid from date will not be recognised. In case your blog is not showing on your Website, check to ensure the valid from date is not in the future.

  • Valid To. You can set a date whereby the blog will be removed from being visible on your website if you so wish. In case your blog post is not showing on your Website, check the valid to date is not in the past.
