Written by Joaquin Cahiza



🧭 Go to the Blog Section

  1. Log in to your Job Boardly dashboard

  2. Find the new “Blog” tab in the menu


👉 This is where you’ll create and manage all your posts

✍️ Create Your First Post

  1. Click “New Post”

  2. Fill in the following fields:

  • Title → make it clear and searchable

  • URL Slug → clean URL (e.g. /devops-jobs-guide)

  • Summary → short description of the post (used for previews/SEO)

  • Content → your article body

  • Featured Image → main image for the post

⚙️ Publishing Settings

  • Status → choose between:

    • Draft (not visible yet)

    • Published (live on your site)

  • Published At → schedule or set the publish date

🏷️ Organization

  • Tags → categorize your content (e.g. DevOps, Remote, Career Tips)

🔍 SEO Settings (Important)

  • Meta Title & Description → what shows on Google

  • Social Image → image used when sharing the post on LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.

📝 Content

  • Write your article using the text editor

  • You can format text (headings, bold, lists, links, images, etc.)

👉 This is where the actual value of your post lives


🧱 How to Customize Your Blog Page in Job Boardly

The Blog Page is the main landing page where all your posts are listed. This is what users (and Google) see first.


Here’s how to customize it:

🖼️ 1. Add a Cover Image

On the left panel:

  • Click “Choose File” under Cover image

  • Upload a banner image for your blog

👉 This image appears at the top of your blog page

💡 Tip:
Use a clean banner that matches your niche (jobs, careers, your industry)


✍️ Edit Title & Description

In the editor on the right:

  • Title (H1) → e.g. “Blog” or something more specific like
    “DevOps Career Blog”

  • Subtitle / Description → short line under the title
    (e.g. “Updates, tips, and insights”)

👉 This is what users immediately read when they land on your blog

💡 Make it niche-specific:

  • “Football careers, jobs, and insights”

  • “Remote tech jobs and career advice”


📝 Customize Content Section

Below the title, you’ll see “Blog posts”

👉 This is the section where all your articles will appear automatically

You don’t need to configure anything here — just make sure your intro above it is clear and relevant


🔍 Configure SEO (Meta Tags)

On the left panel:

Meta Title

  • Recommended: 50–60 characters

  • Example:
    “DevOps Jobs Blog – Tips, Salaries & Hiring Trends”

Meta Description

  • Recommended: 120–158 characters

  • Example:
    “Explore DevOps career tips, salary guides, and the latest job opportunities in the industry.”

👉 These are used by Google when your blog page appears in search results


💾 Save Changes

  • Click “Update page” (top right)

👉 Your blog page will be updated instantly

🔗 Make Your Blog Visible (Important)

Creating posts is not enough — you need to make the blog accessible.

👉 To do this:

Add a Blog link in your Header or Footer

You can do this from:
👉 Settings → Design

This ensures visitors can easily find your blog from anywhere on your site.
