How to create a News/Blog Post

1. You should prepare your post before adding it to the website. This is best done using Google Docs and saved with the Balanced Horizon News/Blog Post folder. Example post document for reference – Andrew Blog Post
2. There is no need to embed images in the post document; instead, these should be saved within the same folder. You should always use at least one image (landscape 800 x 600 px) within your post, as this will also be used as the listing (featured) image.
3. Templates for images have been created in Canva.
