Where to find it

Open SEO → Preferences and click Blog Studio ↗ — it opens the studio for your hosted blog. Blog Studio works with Ryze Hosting; if hosting isn’t connected yet, the studio offers Connect Ryze Hosting first. Your blog starts on a free Ryze subdomain. To move it to your own domain, such as blog.yoursite.com, click Connect a custom domain in the studio and add the DNS record — see Ryze Hosting. Inside, three modes:
  • Design — favicon, site name and meta description, theme, colors, fonts, corners and layout, with a live preview. Match my website style asks the agent to pull the colors, fonts and header/footer from your live site.
  • Code — custom HTML and CSS for the Head (top) and Footer (bottom) of every blog page, plus switches to hide the built-in blog header or footer. Scripts and event handlers are removed for security, so analytics tags, ad pixels and chat widgets won’t run here. To verify the blog in Search Console, use the SEO mode — it places the verification tag in the real page head.
  • SEO — the Search Console steps for your hosted blog, and the Hide this blog from search engines switch (under Keep this blog out of Google) if you also publish the same articles to your own CMS and don’t want the hosted copy indexed. See Ryze Hosting.
Your articles themselves live in SEO → Content Plan.
