Create a project, draft a post, and publish your first article.

This walkthrough gets you from zero to a live blog post in a few steps.

1. Create an account

Sign in at blogizi.com/sign-in with Google or a magic link. You'll land in the dashboard.

2. Create a project

Click New project, pick a slug (this becomes your subdomain), and optionally link your GitHub repo URL.

Your blog will be live at https://your-slug.app.blogizi.com as soon as you publish a post.

3. Copy your API key

Open Dashboard → Account → API (or any project Settings → API) and copy your account API key. One key covers all your projects.

4. Install & authenticate the CLI

npm install -g blogizi blogizi auth YOUR_API_KEY blogizi use your-project-slug

5. Write and publish

Write a markdown file with Blogizi frontmatter (yourself or with an AI coding agent), then from your project directory:

blogizi draft path/to/how-we-built-our-auth-flow.md blogizi publish path/to/how-we-built-our-auth-flow.md
Prefer a template? See Write in Markdown for the frontmatter format.

Visit your subdomain to see the post live. Next, configure a custom domain or path mode if you want the blog on your main site.
