# Publishing

> How to publish, hide, and schedule blog posts

## Publish a post

1. Open the post under **Blog**
2. Go to the **General** tab
3. Check **Published** (Birt)
4. Click **Save changes** (Vista breytingar)

The post now appears on the site under **News** (Fréttir).

## Drafts (unpublished)

If **Published** is unchecked, the post is a draft. It is only visible in the dashboard — not on the website.

On the list you see status:

| Status        | Meaning                               |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Published** | Visible on the site                   |
| **Scheduled** | Publishes automatically at a set time |
| **Draft**     | Not visible on the site               |

## Scheduled publishing

1. Leave **Published** unchecked
2. Set **Scheduled publish** (Áætluð birting) — pick date and time
3. Save

The post publishes automatically when the time arrives.

## SEO

Under **Search engine content** (Leitarvélaefni) you can set:

* **Meta title** — title in search engines (\~60 characters)
* **Meta description** — short summary in search results (\~160 characters)

<Note>
  If you leave meta fields empty, the site uses the post title and description automatically.
</Note>

## Delete a post

At the bottom of the edit page, click **Delete post** (Eyða færslu). This removes the post completely.

<Warning>
  Deletion cannot be undone. Make sure you want to remove the post before confirming.
