Quick Start Guide

This guide focuses on the fastest path to getting your content online and building your audience.

1. Publish your first post

The core of Writizzy is the editor.

• Create: Click the New Post button from your dashboard.
• Write: Use the editor for your content. It supports Markdown and rich text formatting. See the Editor Guide.
• Organize: Use Tags to categorize your post for your readers. Learn more about Tags & Categories.
• Go Live: Click Publish. Your post is immediately available on your public URL. Detailed steps in Pages & Posts.

2. Activate the Newsletter

Once you have content, you need a way to reach your readers directly.

• Setup: In Settings → Newsletter, toggle the subscription feature to add a signup form to your site. See Newsletter.
• Distribute: When publishing a post, you can choose to send it automatically as an email to your subscribers.
• Import: If you have an existing list (from Substack or elsewhere), use the Import Content section to upload your subscribers. Check the Migration Guide.

3. Configure your space

Once your first posts are live, you can refine how your blog looks and functions.

• Pages: Create an "About" or "Contact" page. Unlike Posts, Pages are static and don't appear in your chronological feed. See Working with Pages.
• Custom Domain: Go to Settings → Domains to link your own domain name (e.g., www.yourname.com). View Domain Configuration.
• Design: Use the Themes section to adjust the visual style of your site. Explore Themes & Customization.

4. Track your progress

Writizzy provides detailed, privacy-respecting analytics to help you understand your growth.

• Insights: Use the Dashboard Insights to see which posts are performing best. See Analytics Overview.
• Sources: Check Referrers to see where your traffic is coming from (social media, search engines, etc.). Learn about Traffic Sources.
