There are several ways to post a blog on your Hiveku-hosted website. Choose whichever is most comfortable — they all end up in the same place.

Easiest

Ask the AI assistant

Recommended

Add an entry in the Hiveku CMS

Visual

Use the content editor

For developers

Edit the code directly
For content-heavy sites, set up the Hiveku CMS first. Once a blog collection exists in hiveku.cms.json, posting is just adding an entry in the CMS panel — no AI prompt, no code edit. See Initialize Your CMS to scaffold one in a couple of clicks, or Migrate an Existing Site to the CMS if your blog is currently hardcoded.

​
Option 1: Ask the AI Assistant (Easiest)

The fastest way to post a blog is to just ask the AI.
1

Open your project

From your dashboard, click the website you want to add a blog post to.
2

Open the AI chat

Click the AI tab in the left panel.
3

Describe your post

Type what you want. For example:
Create a new blog post titled "5 Tips for Better Website Performance" 
about optimizing load times, image compression, and caching. Make it 
around 800 words with a friendly, professional tone.
Or paste in content you already have:
Create a blog post from this content: [paste your text here]
4

Review and refine

The AI generates the post and shows you what it created. You can ask for edits:
  • “Make the intro more engaging”
  • “Add a section about lazy loading”
  • “Change the title to something catchier”
5

Deploy

When you’re happy, click Deploy in the top bar — or just tell the AI: “Deploy the site”. Your new post is live in a minute or two.
Attach a reference image or screenshot if you want the AI to match a specific style for your blog post layout.

​
Option 2: Hiveku CMS (Recommended for content-heavy sites)

If your project has the Hiveku CMS set up with a blog collection, posting is just adding an entry in the CMS panel. No AI prompt needed; no code edit needed. The content team can do this without a developer.
1

Open the CMS panel

Open your project in /v3. Switch the right pane to CMS mode.
No CMS yet? Click Initialize CMS to scaffold one — see Initialize Your CMS. If your blog content is currently hardcoded, see Migrate an Existing Site to the CMS first.
2

Pick the blog collection

From the collection picker at the top, click Blog Posts (or whatever you named the collection).
3

Click + New entry

A blank form opens, generated from the manifest’s field schema.
4

Fill in the fields

Typical blog fields:
  • Title — the post title
  • Published at — date picker
  • Status — Draft or Published
  • Tags — add as many as you want
  • Body — Markdown editor with live preview, image drop, embeds
Each field shows up automatically based on the field types defined in your manifest.
5

Save and deploy

Click Save. The entry is written to content/blog/your-slug.mdx and a new version is captured. To make it live, click Deploy in the top bar.
The CMS panel auto-versions every save. Open the version history drawer (three-dot menu) to roll back any post to any earlier state.

​
Option 3: Content Editor (Visual)

Use this if you want hands-on control over the post without touching code.
1

Go to Content

Inside your project, click Content in the sidebar.
2

Open Blog Posts

Click the Blog Posts tab at the top.
3

Pick a collection

If you have multiple blog collections (e.g., “News”, “Tutorials”), select the one you want to post to.
If you don’t see a blog collection yet, ask the AI to create one: “Set up a blog on my site”. The AI will create the collection, the blog listing page, and the post template.
4

Create a new post

Click New Post and fill in:
  • Title — displayed at the top of the post
  • Slug — the URL path (e.g., welcome-to-our-blog)
  • Content — your post body (supports rich text formatting)
  • Featured image — optional cover photo
  • Status — Draft or Published
5

Save and deploy

Click Save. To make the post visible to visitors, click Deploy in the top bar.

​
Option 4: Edit the Code (Developers)

If your blog is a set of static files or MDX pages, you can edit them directly.
1

Open the code editor

Click Code Editor in your project.
2

Navigate to your blog posts

Depending on how your site is built, blog posts typically live in one of these folders:
  • content/blog/ — for most static sites
  • app/blog/ — for Next.js App Router
  • pages/blog/ — for Next.js Pages Router
  • posts/ — common for Jekyll-style sites
3

Create a new file

Right-click the blog folder and choose New File. Name it something like my-new-post.mdx or 2026-04-18-welcome.md.
4

Write your post

Add frontmatter and content:
---
title: "Welcome to Our Blog"
date: "2026-04-18"
author: "Your Name"
excerpt: "A quick intro to what you'll find here."
---

# Welcome!

This is our first blog post. Here's what we're excited to share...
5

Save and deploy

Press Cmd+S (Mac) or Ctrl+S (Windows) to save, then click Deploy.

​
Verifying Your Post

Once deployed, your post should be visible at: 
https://yoursite.hiveku.com/blog/your-post-slug
or at your custom domain if you’ve configured one. If it’s not showing up:
Check the post status in the content editor. Drafts aren’t published to your live site — switch the status to Published and redeploy.
Saving a post doesn’t automatically publish it. Click the Deploy button in the top bar after making changes.
If your blog listing page isn’t picking up new posts, ask the AI: “My new blog post isn’t showing up on the blog index page — can you fix it?” It will inspect your site and wire it up.
Check the post’s slug. The slug determines the URL — a slug like welcome-to-our-blog produces /blog/welcome-to-our-blog.
