If you’re using Hostinger’s Website Builder and wondering how to publish your first blog post, this guide will walk you through every step. Whether you’re launching a personal blog, a business news section, or SEO content for your site, Hostinger makes it easy—even if you’ve never blogged before.
Step 1: Log in and Open the Website Editor
Start by logging into your Hostinger account. Go to the “Websites” section and click Edit Website next to the site you want to blog on.
Step 2: Enable the Blog Feature
Inside the editor, click on More in the top bar, then select Blog and hit Start a Blog. This adds the blog section to your website. You’ll now see a blog icon on your editor dashboard.
Step 3: Remove Default Blog Posts
Hostinger adds placeholder blog posts by default. You can delete them easily to start fresh.
Step 4: Add a New Blog Post
Click Add New Post. You can choose to generate content using AI or write it manually. For manual posts, enter your title, description, URL, author name, and publish date in the Post Settings window.
You can also schedule your post or publish it immediately. Don’t forget to save.
Step 5: Customize Post Content
You can add:
- Images (from Hostinger’s free library or your own files)
- Text sections (customized with font sizes, bold, italics, links, and more)
- Multiple sections using drag-and-drop tools
Step 6: Categorize and Add a Featured Image
Go back into Post Settings to assign a category to your article or create a new one. Under Featured Image, select or upload a thumbnail to display on your blog feed.
Step 7: Publish the Post
Make sure to switch your post from Draft to Public. Then click Update Website to publish your changes live.
Step 8: View Your Blog
Visit your website and head to the blog section to see your new post live, complete with title, author, publish date, content, and images.
