Creating & Publishing Posts

A post is a single newsletter issue — the thing your readers receive in their inbox and can read on your website. This page shows you how to write one and send it.

Where posts live

Go to Posts in your dashboard sidebar. You'll see a list of everything you've written, each with a status:

You can search, filter by status, sort, and export the list to a spreadsheet (CSV) from this page. To begin a new issue, click New Post.

The 3-step editor

Every post is created in three simple steps. You can move back and forth freely.

Step 1 — Compose (write your content)

This is where you write. You have:

• A title and optional subtitle.
• An option to show or hide the author name.
• A cover image you can upload for the top of your post.
• A content editor where you build your post out of blocks.

Blocks are the building pieces of your post. Click to add any of these:

You can format text as bold or italic, add links, create bullet lists, and align text left, center, or right. To add an image, upload it right inside the editor — or drag and drop it in.

You can also assign one or more Themes (tags) here to keep your posts organized.

💡 Tip: Only the title is required to save a draft. Everything else can wait.

Step 2 — Preview (see it before you send)

Buzzly shows you an exact preview of how your post looks as an email. This is the same thing your readers will see in their inbox. Check your images, spacing, and links here before moving on.

Step 3 — Distribute (send or publish)

This is where you decide how your post goes out:

• Send by email to your subscribers, publish to your website, or both.
• Write a custom email subject line (the headline readers see in their inbox).
• Send a test email to yourself first to double-check everything.
• Publish now, or schedule it for a future date and time (in your time zone).

When you're happy, hit Publish. 🎉

Good to know: Scheduling a post for later is a Pro (paid) feature. See Monetization & plans or your Subscription settings to upgrade.

Reusing a design

If you send similar-looking issues each week, don't rebuild them every time. Save a layout as an Email Template and start new posts from it in one click.
