Everything you need to know about writing, publishing, and growing on blogrr.
Getting started
How do I create a blog?
Go to blogrr.com/signup, fill in your name, email, password, blog name, and pick a URL slug. Your blog is live immediately at yourslug.blogrr.com.
How do I write my first post?
Open your Dashboard and click New post. The editor supports Markdown — # Heading, **bold**, *italic*, - list item, and so on. Click Publish when ready.
Is blogrr free?
Yes. Creating a blog and publishing posts is completely free — no monthly fees, no hidden costs. Reader subscriptions are coming soon.
What's the AI co-author?
The AI co-author is a writing assistant built into the editor. It can suggest improvements, expand rough ideas into paragraphs, fix grammar, and adapt to your writing style. Press the AI button in the toolbar to open it.
Writing & editing
How do I use post templates?
In the editor, click Templates to choose from starter formats: essay, tutorial, list post, book review, and more. Templates pre-fill a structure so you write content, not scaffolding.
What is Focus mode?
Focus mode hides the sidebar and toolbar so only your writing is visible. Toggle it with the Focus button in the editor toolbar.
Can I set a word count goal?
Yes. Open the editor sidebar and enter a target word count. A progress indicator appears below the title as you type.
Can I schedule posts?
Yes. In the editor, switch from Publish now to Schedule and pick a future date and time. The post publishes automatically at that moment.
How do I import a Markdown file?
In the editor, click Import and upload a .md file. blogrr parses the front matter and body automatically.
How do I import from Substack, Ghost, WordPress, Blogger, or Medium?
From your Dashboard, go to Settings → Import and follow the platform-specific guide. blogrr supports bulk import from all major blogging platforms via ZIP export or URL scrape.
Can I export my posts?
Yes. From the Dashboard, select posts and use Bulk actions → Export as ZIP (Markdown + front matter) or Export as CSV (metadata spreadsheet).
How does revision history work?
Every save creates a snapshot. In the editor, click Revisions to browse all previous versions and restore any of them.
Publishing
What are post statuses?
Posts can be Draft (only you can see it), Scheduled (publishes automatically at the set time), or Published (live and visible to everyone).
What are tags?
Tags are short topic labels added to a post (e.g. #writing). They create archive pages like blogrr.com/tag/writing and appear in the platform sitemap.
What is a series?
A series groups related posts into a named sequence with prev/next navigation and a series index page. Create one from Dashboard → Series or the editor sidebar.
Can I add a cover image?
Yes. Click Cover image at the top of the editor to upload or link a hero image. It appears full-width on the published post.
What is the SEO checklist?
The editor has a built-in SEO checklist that verifies title length, meta description, headings, image alt text, reading time, and word count. Open it from the editor sidebar.
Reading experience
What is the table of contents?
For posts with multiple headings, blogrr automatically generates a floating table of contents. Readers can click any section to jump to it — no configuration needed.
What is the reading progress bar?
A thin coloured bar at the top of each post fills as the reader scrolls through it.
How is reading time calculated?
blogrr estimates reading time at 200 words per minute and shows it below the post title (e.g. "5 min read").
Can readers share a quote?
Yes. When a reader selects text in a post, a share button appears. They can copy a formatted quote or share it directly to social media.
Engagement
What are claps?
Claps are a quick appreciation signal — readers can clap multiple times on a post. The clap count is shown on the post and influences the trending algorithm on /explore.
What are reactions?
Reactions are emoji responses (❤️ 💡 😂 🔥 etc.). Readers pick one and the totals are shown below the post.
How do comments work?
Comments are threaded — readers can reply to a comment to start a sub-thread. Moderate comments from Dashboard → Comments (approve, delete, or mark as spam).
Your blog
Does my blog have an RSS feed?
Yes. Every blog automatically has RSS and Atom feeds: yourblog.blogrr.com/feed.xml and yourblog.blogrr.com/atom.xml.
How does the newsletter work?
Readers can subscribe to your email newsletter. Compose and send from Dashboard → Newsletter.
Can I charge readers for content?
Reader subscriptions are coming soon. For now, monetise through AdSense or any ad network — paste your code in Dashboard → Settings → Custom code.
Can I run ads?
Yes. Bring your own AdSense (or any ad network) code. Paste it into Dashboard → Settings → Custom code and your ad units appear in designated slots in your blog layout.
Can I customise my blog's look?
Go to Dashboard → Theme to change your accent colour, font pairing, and layout style.
How do I see my subscribers?
Dashboard → Followers lists all email subscribers. You can export them as a CSV.
Dashboard & analytics
What stats does blogrr show?
Dashboard → Stats shows total views, claps, comments, and subscriber count with date-range filtering. Dashboard → Insights shows your top posts by views and engagement.
What is the content calendar?
Dashboard → Calendar shows all posts on a monthly calendar — published, scheduled, and drafts — to help plan your publishing cadence.
What are bulk actions?
On Dashboard → Posts, select multiple posts and bulk publish, unpublish, delete, or export them.
Discovery
What is the Explore page?
blogrr.com/explore is a platform-wide directory showing new blogs, posts published today, and the most active blogs of the last 30 days.
How does the trending algorithm work?
Trending posts are scored as views + (claps × 5) over the last 30 days.
How do I search for posts?
Use blogrr.com/search to search all published posts by title and body.
Is my blog indexed by search engines?
Yes. blogrr generates a dynamic sitemap covering all blogs and top tags. A robots.txt allows all crawlers.

How much does it cost?
Publishing is completely free — no monthly fees, no hidden costs.
