A tour of your site’s admin

Where everything lives in your site’s admin: writing, members, newsletters, settings, and the quickest way to jump between them.

Who can do this: Everyone on your team. What you can see depends on your staff role.

Blogaly has two places you’ll use. Your dashboard at dash.blogaly.com is for your account: your sites, plan, billing and custom domain. Your site’s admin is where you actually run the publication: writing, members, newsletters, design and settings. This guide is about the admin.

Your admin is at your site’s address followed by /admin, for example northern-ledger.blogaly.uk/admin. Once you’ve connected your own domain, yourdomain.com/admin works too. Sign in with the email address and the password you chose from the password email.

The Blogaly sign-in screen with an email address field, a password field, a Sign in button and a Forgot password link. — Bookmark this page. It’s the front door to your site.

Home

You land on Home. On a brand-new site it’s mostly empty, with shortcuts to write your first post. As you publish, it fills up with your visitors and members over the last 7, 30 or 90 days, drafts to pick back up, what’s scheduled next, member growth, your top posts, and anything that Needs attention, such as a newsletter that failed to send.

Home on an active site, with 48 members, drafts to continue and a member growth chart. — The same page once you’ve started publishing.
