Posts

Undoubtedly the most important part of Anchor, the posts interface lets you add, remove, and edit any blog posts (or articles) in your Anchor blog.

The posts screen

This screen will show you all of your posts, coloured by status.

Creating/editing a post

To create a post, click the green “Create a new post” button. You’ll be greeted with a minimal writing interface (see below).

The extra fields (excluding custom fields) are explained below.

Slug

The unique identifier and section of your blog’s URL that tells you about the post. Useful for SEO and usability (or “guessability”).

Status

By default, a post can have three statuses attached to it:

• Published — publicly viewable and searchable.
