Overview

Dyeink provides a powerful, distraction-free editor for creating and managing your blog posts. Write with a rich text editor, add images, format your content, and publish when you’re ready.

​
Creating a New Post

To create a new post:
  1. Navigate to Posts in your admin sidebar
  2. Click the New Post button
  3. Start writing in the editor
Your post will automatically be saved as a draft.

​
The Editor

​
Rich Text Toolbar

The editor includes a comprehensive formatting toolbar:
  • Bold - Make text bold (Ctrl/Cmd + B)
  • Italic - Italicize text (Ctrl/Cmd + I)
  • Underline - Underline text (Ctrl/Cmd + U)
  • Bullet List - Create unordered lists
  • Numbered List - Create ordered lists
  • Quote - Format text as a blockquote
  • Align Left/Center/Right - Change text alignment

​
Working with Images

To add images to your post:
  1. Click the Image icon in the toolbar
  2. Select an image file from your computer
  3. The image will be uploaded and embedded automatically
Images are automatically optimized and stored securely. You can right-click on any image in the editor to delete it.

​
Editor Features

  • Auto-save - Your content is automatically saved as you type
  • Undo/Redo - Use the undo and redo buttons or keyboard shortcuts
  • Distraction-free - Clean, minimal interface helps you focus on writing
  • Paste as plain text - Pasted content is automatically cleaned of formatting

​
Post Metadata

​
Title

Enter your post title in the large text field at the top of the editor. The title is used to:
  • Display your post in listings
  • Generate the URL slug (e.g., “My First Post” becomes /my-first-post)
  • Serve as the page title for SEO
Titles must be unique. If you try to publish a post with a duplicate title, you’ll receive an error.

​
Cover Images

While the current editor focuses on in-content images, you can add images directly within your post content that will be displayed prominently.

​
Excerpts

Excerpts are short summaries of your post used in:
  • Post listings and previews
  • Social media sharing
  • SEO meta descriptions
The excerpt field is available in the post settings.

​
Publishing Your Post

​
Publishing Workflow

  1. Write your content - Use the editor to create your post
  2. Review - Check your formatting, images, and links
  3. Click Continue - The button in the top-right corner
  4. Wait for processing - You’ll see a “Publishing…” screen
  5. View your post - You’ll be redirected to the live post
Publishing takes a few seconds as your content is processed and deployed globally.

​
Draft vs Published

Posts have two states:
  • Draft - Saved but not visible to readers
  • Published - Live and accessible on your blog
Drafts are automatically saved as you write. Only published posts appear on your blog.

​
Managing Posts

​
Viewing All Posts

The Posts page shows all your published posts in a table with:
  • Post title
  • Publication status (Published/Draft)
  • Publication date
  • Quick actions (Edit/Delete)

​
Editing a Post

To edit a published post:
  1. Go to the Posts page
  2. Click the Edit icon (pencil) next to the post
  3. Make your changes in the editor
  4. Click Continue to republish
Editing a published post immediately updates the live version when you click Continue.

​
Deleting a Post

To delete a post:
  1. Click the Delete icon (trash) next to the post
  2. Confirm the deletion in the modal
Deletion is permanent and cannot be undone. The post will be immediately removed from your blog.

​

​
Automatic SEO

Dyeink automatically handles several SEO elements:
  • URL slugs - Generated from your post title
  • Meta titles - Uses your post title
