Blog as a
Service
Name your blog, write the first post, and it is live. A clean, fast blog of your own with nothing to install, nothing to update, and nobody else's brand on it.
The blog you came from is the first one moving onto it. Have a look around it and that is roughly what yours will feel like.
Name your blog
That is the whole first step. Everything after it is writing.
That is the whole first step. Take it through and start writing.
One email, on launch day. Nothing else, ever.
What you get
The product at launch, in the order it will matter to you.
Split-screen editor
Write on the left, watch the finished post build itself on the right. Paste an image straight in and it uploads where it lands. What you see is exactly what publishes.
Your own address
Point a domain you own at it and that is what readers see. Certificates are handled for you. Nobody else's brand in your URL.
Blocks that already look right
Callout cards, hero panels, image embeds, share rows. Drop one in, fill the fields, done. They are styled before you touch them.
Drafts and scheduling
Queue a post for Tuesday at six and close the laptop. It goes out on its own, on time, with nobody at the keyboard.
Themes you cannot break
A small set of palettes and layouts that all genuinely look good. Nothing to configure, no stylesheet to snap at midnight.
Views and shares, one line
How many people read it, how many passed it on. That is the whole analytics product, because that is the part you actually read.
Bring what you have
Existing posts come across on the way in, so starting here does not mean starting from an empty page.
What the others cost you
Not money: time, control, and the share of your work that never comes back. No price on this page yet, it lands before launch. What it will not be is a percentage of anything your readers pay you.
Enormously capable, and a part-time job. Plugins, updates, and a security surface nobody asked for.
Free until it is not. Takes a cut of everything your readers ever pay you, for as long as they pay it.
Genuinely good software, priced for businesses, and it still expects you to think about themes.
Their audience, their rules, their design. Your writing sits inside somebody else's product.
A monthly subscription, your own address, one small set of things that all work. Nothing to administer, nothing to update, nothing sitting between you and the reader.
Where it is
Built in the open, in order, with the awkward parts first.
-
Being built now
The editor, the scheduler, and the publishing engine. In that order, because the boring machinery has to be right before the nice parts go on top of it.
-
Blog number one
The blog you arrived from moves onto the platform before anyone else is let in. If it is not good enough for that, it is not good enough to sell.
-
No date promised
It opens when it is genuinely finished rather than on a date picked to make a page look busy. The list below hears first, and only once.
So, what would you call it?
So, what will you call it?
Type a name at the top of the page. If it looks right up there, leave an address and you will hear when it opens.
Type a name at the top of the page and take it through. You can change it later.
