# Create a Blog Post in Developer Portal
> Step-by-step guide to creating, editing, and publishing blog posts in the Tyk Developer Portal Admin UI, including Markdown and status settings.
## Availability
| Component | Version | Edition |
| ---------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| Developer Portal | Available since v1.0.0 | Enterprise (license must include blog capability) |
## Prerequisites
* The blog is enabled in your portal configuration (`Blog.Enable: true` / `PORTAL_BLOG_ENABLE=true`). See [Blog Posts Overview](/docs/portal/customization/blog/overview) for configuration details.
* Admin access to the Developer Portal Admin UI.
## Create a Blog Post
1. **Open the blog section.** In the Admin UI sidebar, select **Blog**, then click **Posts**.
2. **Start a new post.** Click **Add new Post**.
3. **Enter the post title.** In the **Title** field, type the title of your post.
4. **Add a summary.** In the **Lede** field, enter a short summary or introductory paragraph. The Lede is typically displayed on the blog listing page alongside the post title.
5. **Choose your editor.** Toggle **Display Markdown version** to switch between the rich text editor and the Markdown editor.
* When the toggle is off, use the **Content** field to write in rich text or HTML.
* When the toggle is on, use the **Markdown Content** field to write in Markdown.
See [Markdown in Developer Portal](/docs/portal/customization/markdown) for supported Markdown syntax and limitations.
6. **Set the post status.** In the **Status** field, choose one of:
| Status | Description |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `draft` | Not visible in the Live Portal. Use for posts still being written. |
| `review` | Not visible in the Live Portal. Use for posts awaiting approval. |
| `published` | Visible in the Live Portal at the post's URL. |
New posts default to `published`. Set the **Status** field to `draft` or `review` before saving if you are not ready to make the post public.
7. **Upload a header image.** In the **Header Image** field, click **Choose file...** and select an image to use as the featured image for the post.
8. **Set the URL path.** In the **Path** field, enter the URL slug for the post. This becomes part of the public URL: `/blog/YYYY/M/D/[path]`, where the date is derived from when the post is created.
The post URL's publish date is set at creation time based on the post's creation timestamp.
9. **Assign categories.** Select one or more categories from the **Categories** field. Categories group your posts by topic and appear as filters in the Live Portal. To create categories first, see [Create and Manage Blog Categories and Tags](/docs/portal/customization/blog/manage-categories-and-tags).
10. **Assign tags.** Select one or more tags from the **Tags** field. Tags control which blog posts appear in the **Related blog content** section on API Product pages in the Live Portal. To create tags first, see [Create and Manage Blog Categories and Tags](/docs/portal/customization/blog/manage-categories-and-tags).
11. **Save the post.** Click **Save Changes** to create the post.
When the post status is set to `published`, it becomes visible at `/blog/YYYY/M/D/[path]` in the Live Portal and appears on the blog listing page at `/blog`.
## Change a Post's Status
To unpublish a post, edit the post and change its **Status** from `published` to `draft` or `review`. The post is removed from the Live Portal immediately.
To republish it, set the status back to `published`.
