Use event blog posts when you want to publish announcements, speaker spotlights, resources, or follow-up notes on your public event site.
Create a blog post
Go to Content > Blog Posts in your event dashboard.
Select Add Blog Post.
Add the post title. HeySummit can create the URL slug from the title, or you can enter your own slug if you want a specific public URL.
Write the post body. You can use the editor for formatted content, or switch to Markdown if you prefer writing that way.
Add an excerpt if you want to control the short summary shown on the blog list and in previews. If you leave it blank, HeySummit creates one from the post content.
Choose the author, image, comments, and publish state
The author field can include the event owner and team members who have access to the event and have Can Author Blog Posts? enabled. If someone is missing from the author list, check their team member permissions first.
Upload a featured image if you have one. If you leave it blank, HeySummit generates a simple image from your event theme for the post and social previews.
Use Allow Comments? to decide whether attendees can comment on the post. Use Published? to control whether the post is live. Draft or unpublished posts stay hidden from the public blog, RSS feed, and public post URL.
Where published posts appear
Published posts appear at /blog/ on your event site, each post gets its own page, and the event blog RSS feed is available at /blog/rss.xml.
When your event has published blog posts, HeySummit adds the Blog navigation link for the event. If you do not see the Blog link publicly, check that at least one post is published.
