Edit Details with Ease

You also get some great panels to modify post URLs, set publishing dates, or change authors easily. Assigning tags and adding extra metadata info is straightforward as well.

Customize Your Blog

You can even customize details about your blog like its name, description, logo, cover image, theme—basically everything that gives it character!
