Blog Cloud

On our new PowerUp – BlogCloud – launching soon, there are some Blogging Templates we have purchased a license to use. The following are How-To videos on each of these. Enjoy!

  • A 1200 x 450 pixel featured image. Create one on canva.com. It’s free. Save it as a jpg because it’s the smaller size. Be sure you name your image something that makes sense. Name it with the headline and “featured-image.”
  • Either use your own images or from a stock library (free or paid). Images on Google are not free and are owned by people and companies. Use at your own PERIL!
  • Find a list of stock imagery in MyMerlinFX training portal or find them in Canva.
  • Want to get the image for the Featured Image pixel perfect? Get this Canva template we’ve created for you.
  • Want to get images within the blog post the right size? Get this Canva template also.
  • Watch this HOW TO VIDEO on what to do with the Canva templates.
  • Write an alt tag (alternative text) for your featured image when you upload it to the media library. I usually say “featured image for [title of blog post]”
  • A 155 character meta description (snippet) and focus keyword.
  • [Optional] Don’t forget to update the social images options located in the SEO options.
  • Don’t forget to change the blog category.
  • Don’t forget to change the slug (permalink) for this post.
  • Don’t forget to share your blog post to social media.
  • A good headline? Sharethrough is a great tool to help you write better headlines. It’s free!
