Your News page is where you tell the story around your artwork. A show opening, a studio move, a commission that just found its home: these are the updates that give a returning visitor a reason to come back, and that give your Artwork Archive Public Profile something current for search engines to find. You can publish a post the moment you finish it, save it as a draft and come back later, or schedule it to go live on a date you choose.

The Create a New Post page has three parts, working down the page: Featured Image, Post Info, and Publishing Options. Nothing is saved until you click Save Post at the bottom right.

Your Featured Image appears at the top of your post, and it is also the image people see when your post is shared on social media or in an email. It is worth choosing carefully, because it often does the work of persuading someone to click.

The Post Info section holds the writing itself.

Post Content is a rich text editor, so you can shape a long post rather than leaving it as a wall of text. The toolbar gives you a text style drop-down that starts at Normal, bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough, a quotation block, hyperlinks, numbered and bulleted lists, indent controls, and a button that clears formatting from whatever you have selected.

A draft is saved to your account and is not visible on your Public Profile, so you can start a post today and finish it whenever you like.

You are returned to My Posts, where your drafts and published posts are listed together. Use the Draft filter above the list to see only your unfinished posts, or the Search posts box to find one by name.

Your post goes live on the News page of your Public Profile straight away. To publish a post you saved earlier as a draft, open it from My Posts with Actions > Edit, check Publish now, and click Save Post.

Scheduling is useful when the news has a date attached to it. Write the post while the details are fresh, set it to go live the morning your show opens, and it publishes itself.

Back on My Posts, each post shows the date it was created and, if you scheduled it, the date it is set to go live.

Everything you do to an existing post starts from the same place.

This opens the News page exactly as a visitor sees it, with your published posts in order. To see your whole Public Profile rather than just News, use View Public Profile at the top right of the Manage Your Public Profile page. While your profile is still private, that button reads Preview as a Visitor.
