Creating and posting blogs using Levitate
Now, Levitate provides users the ability to create blogs and post them directly to their websites!
For Levitate website users
If Levitate is your website provider and you'd like to get your website set up with our new blogging platform, send in a ticket to support@levitateapp.com.
For everyone else
If you have a website that is not hosted by Levitate, we can still most likely get a blog page set up for you! The key piece here is that you have access to your domain settings and DNS records, and website editor so that we can get the blog page we create pointed to your existing site and added as a link to your site's menu.
Pricing, plans, and availability vary based on plan— reach out directly to your Success Specialist about getting the blog feature turned on for setup and posting.

Formatting and Adding Elements to a Blog Post
When creating an blog, the text can be formatted in a few ways. The text can be bolded, underlined, and italicized. There are six header options, H1 being the biggest and H6 being the smallest. The appearance of the header will be based on the formatting of the website or Levitate hosted blog page.
Bulleted lists and numbered lists can be inserted.
Media, including a hyperlink, an image, and a Youtube thumbnail can be inserted.
Why a Youtube thumbnail?
When posting a blog to a web page video embedding is not supported, so as a way to share videos via blog post we provide the option to add a Youtube thumbnail that links directly to the video you'd like to share.
To add the thumbnail, click Insert and choose Youtube thumbnail, from there you'll be prompted to enter the Youtube video's URL. Once entered, the thumbnail for the video that is hyperlinked to the video itself will be inserted into the body of your blog.
