Website blog
The Blog Management screen is the control room for every article on your hosted website. From one table you publish, schedule, unpublish, archive, delete, and search your posts, and turn on audio versions read in your own voice. Writing and editing an article happens elsewhere; this is where you decide when and whether it goes live.
What it is
Your website is a hosted CMS, and Blog Management (found under Website, then Blog) is the list view of the posts that live on it. Each row is one article, showing its featured image, title, meta description, status, author, and the dates it was published and last updated.
This screen is deliberately not the editor. It manages state, not content. To change the words, the title, or the featured image of a post, you open it in the blog editor from its Creations entry. To decide when a post appears in front of visitors, and to run the same change across many posts at once, you stay here.
Everything you do here is scoped to your own posts. A published post is instantly live for visitors, because your website has no draft layer. Scheduling is how you line up a future go-live without publishing on the spot.
Who it is for
Any loan officer keeping a steady blog on their TrueTone site who needs a fast way to see what is live, what is scheduled, and what is still a draft, then act on all of it in bulk. Sales, marketing, and product teams use this page to understand exactly which publishing controls exist on the management screen and how blog audio is billed.
How to publish and manage posts
Find the post
Use the search box to match on title or description, open Filters to narrow by status (published, scheduled, draft, or archived), and click a column header to sort by title, status, published date, or last updated. The four cards at the top count your total, published, scheduled, and draft posts at a glance.
Select what you want to change
Tick the checkbox on one or more rows. An Actions menu appears with the bulk operations: Publish, Set as Draft, Schedule, Archive, and Delete. Every action runs against all selected posts at once.
Publish now
Choose Publish. Blog posts require a featured image, so if a selected post does not have one yet, you are prompted to add an image for it before it goes live. The first time you publish, a one-time confirmation reminds you that changes go live immediately.
Or schedule it
Choose Schedule and pick a future date and time. The selected posts publish automatically at that moment. A scheduled date must be in the future; the picker will not let you confirm a past time.
Take a post back down
Set as Draft returns a post to draft so it is no longer public (you can republish it later). Archive moves it to the archived state, out of your active list. Delete removes it permanently and cannot be undone.
View the live post
For any published post, the eye icon on its row opens the article on your public website in a new tab, so you can confirm exactly what a visitor sees.
What each status means
| Status | What it means for visitors |
|---|---|
| Published | Live on your website right now. |
| Scheduled | Set to publish automatically at a future date and time. |
| Draft | Not public. Being worked on, or taken back down from live. |
| Archived | Set aside, out of your active list, and not public. |
Blog audio: an optional listen in your own voice
You can offer visitors an audio version of your articles, narrated in your own cloned voice. It is entirely owner opt-in and it is billed to you, never triggered by a site visitor.
The simplest way to turn it on is the Auto-generate audio versions toggle on this page. With it on, every blog you publish from then on gets an audio version generated automatically, and a player appears on your public post once the audio is ready (usually a few minutes later).
Audio requires a recorded voice. If you have not set up a voice yet, the toggle stays disabled and prompts you to record one first. Each audio version costs a flat 8 credits per post, charged like any other credit action.
Good to know
There is no draft layer on your public website. The moment you press Publish, the article is live for visitors. Use Schedule when you want to line up a future go-live instead of publishing on the spot.
A few honest limits worth knowing:
- This screen manages status, not content. To edit the article itself (words, title, meta description, or image), open it in the blog editor from Creations.
- Publishing is a bulk action, reached by selecting rows and opening the Actions menu. There is no separate one-click publish button on each row.
- Blog audio is owner-initiated only. Site visitors can never spend your credits, and republishing an unchanged article does not charge you again.
- Very long articles fall outside the flat-price length cap and are skipped for audio, so audio does not appear on every post automatically.
- Audio generation never blocks publishing. Your post goes live whether or not the audio succeeds.
- Deleting a post is permanent. It also clears any scheduled entry tied to that post.
