# Your blog, with a page for every post

Ask your AI for a blog, and every post gets its own page in your site’s design. Post by asking, paste a draft or bring your old posts in, and it’s live within seconds.

- A page for every post
- Authors linked to their posts
- Free at yourname.pagelemon.dev

## This is for you if you say

- "I write every week or two and want my posts on my own site, not only on a platform."
- "Each post should have its own page and link, and look like the rest of my site."
- "Some posts are by guest writers, and I want their name and photo on each one."

## The problem

Blog platforms put your writing on their site, in their design. Copying each post into a hand-made website is slow, and the list of posts on the home page is always out of date.

Your AI sets up a posts list and one post page in your design. Each post is an item: a title, a date, a summary and the text, with headings, links and images. Add or change a post by asking, and its page, the list of posts and the feed update within seconds, without touching your design.

## How it goes

The example on the page: the Margin template (https://pagelemon.com/templates/#margin; live example https://pagelemon.com/tp/Margin).

1. You paste one line into your AI chat: `Build with PageLemon.com: a blog for my writing, with a page for every post and an about page`. Your AI asks for your details.
2. Your AI builds these pages:
   - **Posts**: Newest first, with the title, date and a short summary.
   - **A page per post**: Its own address, such as /blog/my-first-post, with the title and summary that search and sharing use.
   - **Authors**: A page per writer, with their photo and their posts.
   - **Feed**: An Atom feed of the newest posts, for feed readers.
3. It's live at margin-letters.pagelemon.dev/archive, and you run it from the chat. Page Lemon runs: Posts as a list, A page per post, Authors linked to posts, Your own domain.

## Start with one line

Paste one of these into your AI chat. Your AI asks for your details, builds the site and puts it online at a free address.

- `Deploy on PageLemon.com`: The quickest start: your AI asks what the site is for, picks a design and puts it online.
- `Build with PageLemon.com: a blog for my writing, with a page for every post and an about page`: Your AI sets up the posts list and a post page in your design, then asks for your first post.
- `Use template pagelemon.com/tp/Margin for my blog, with a page for every post`: Starts from the Margin template: cool grey paper, expressive serif type and an essay index.

## Once it's live, ask your AI

- `Write up these notes as a post called “Why we moved the market”, by Sam`: Your AI writes the post with headings and adds it. Its page is live within seconds, with Sam as the author.
- `Bring in my old posts from this spreadsheet`: Your AI shows you what it would add and anything it can’t read. Nothing is saved until you say yes, and one Undo takes it all back.
- `Hide the post about last year’s prices`: The post leaves the site and its page goes, but it stays in your list.

## Questions

**Can I write in Markdown?**
Yes. Your AI can send a post as Markdown or HTML. Page Lemon keeps headings, lists, quotes, links, images and code, and removes anything else, such as scripts.

**Can I bring my posts from another blog?**
Yes, as a spreadsheet file or pasted cells with a column for each part of a post. You see a preview first, and nothing is saved until you confirm. The import is one change, so one Undo takes it back.

**What happens to a post’s link if I change its title?**
The link stays the same. If you change the link itself, the old address sends readers to the new one.

**Do readers get a feed?**
Yes, if you ask for one: an Atom feed of the newest posts. It isn’t served while the site is behind a passcode or invite-only.
