A blog on your site you can keep up
Write a post yourself, or describe it and let AI draft it for 5 credits. You publish it.
Drafts from what you tell it
Choose Write with Shingle and describe the post you want. The best starting point is a question customers really ask, a few facts you can stand behind, and the tone or length you'd like. Shingle writes a draft from your brief and your business details, then edits it against the same facts. It doesn't research the web, so it won't pull in a statistic from somewhere you've never heard of.
The draft comes to you as a proposal. It never publishes itself, and it never overwrites what you've saved. Read it, check the names, dates, claims and advice, and change what's wrong, because AI can get facts wrong and what your site says is yours. A draft uses 5 credits, which come back if the request fails. Writing by hand and publishing use none.
A ready-made workflow can prepare a post each month and hold it for your OK, so the blog doesn't go quiet while you're busy.
Part of your site
Each post is a page of your site, with everything a page gets.
Your site's design
Posts share your site's layout, fonts, colors and menu. Blog joins the menu once your first post is live.
Search data
A search title, a description and article data. Leave them blank and Shingle fills them from the post.
RSS and sitemap
An RSS feed at /rss.xml, and each post listed in your site's sitemap.
Tags and authors
Add a summary, an author name and tags, and filter your list by tag or status.
An address that stays
You choose a post's address before it first goes live. It stays fixed, so links keep working.
A way out of search
Ask search engines not to index a post. People with its link can still read it.
From draft to live
Write
Select words to make a heading, bold, a list or a link. Saving keeps a draft only your team can see.
Preview
Read it as visitors will. A post that's already live keeps showing until you publish your updates.
Publish post
Your site has to be live. Shingle updates it, and the post goes public when that finishes.

Common questions

Not every one does. A blog is most useful when customers keep asking the same questions, or when a job depends on season or place, such as when to service a furnace. A few honest posts beat a steady stream of filler. It can help people find you, though nobody can promise that.
You describe the post, with a customer's question and any facts it should use. Shingle drafts from that and your business details, with no web research, and you review it before anything goes live. It follows your site's language. Check every claim, since AI can get facts wrong.
5 credits, which come back if the request fails. The plan includes 200 credits a month, shared with the rest of your AI work. Writing and editing by hand use no credits, and neither does publishing a post.
Not yet. A post publishes when you press Publish post, and it holds words, headings, lists and links. Scheduling, photos inside a post, comments and embeds aren't built. To keep a rhythm, a workflow can prepare a post each month for your OK.
They're set up to be found, with their own title, description, article data and a place in your sitemap. Google decides whether and when to show them, and we can't promise it will. A post you mark as not for search stays out of the RSS feed and the sitemap too.
Nothing. Posts belong to the site separately from its design versions, so restoring a version leaves them as they are. Taking the whole site offline hides the blog and its feed, and your drafts stay saved. An admin or the owner can delete a post for good.
