Pages and looks

Blocks

Markdown

Add things that grow over time, like a guestbook, a portfolio or a reading list.

Most of what is on a page, like your name, an about paragraph, photos, a video and colors, is part of its look. You change it by making a new version.

Some things keep growing instead: visitors' messages and sign-ups, or works and books you add one by one. These go in a block. Each block has its own name, such as Messages or Works, and you manage it in the page's Content tab.

#Do you need a block?

Ask one question: will it grow without the look changing?

You want Use
Visitors write something (guestbook, sign-ups, likes) A block
You keep adding items (portfolio, reading list, trips) A block
Fixed content you change now and then (name, photo, about, a video) Just the look

If you are not sure, your AI will ask, for example "Will you add new works often?"

#Add a block

Tell your AI, for example "Add a guestbook to my home page". It will:

  1. Ask what it needs to know

    It only makes a block for things that will grow.

  2. Add the block

    If visitors can write to it, you confirm this once in the app.

  3. Make a draft that shows it

    Preview the draft. When you like it, press Publish.

If the page already has a block of the same kind, the AI asks whether to reuse it or make a new one. Most people reuse it, so the same items show in both places.

#Manage a block

Open the page and choose Content. With two or more blocks, a small switch at the top moves between them (for example Messages · Works · +).

  • Messages: new messages show Waiting for you. They appear on the page after you press Approve.
  • Works and lists: press Add for a new item. Tap an item to edit or delete it.
  • ⚙ Rules shows who can see and who can write. To change the rules, ask your AI.

#Changing the look never loses items

Items live in their block, not in the look. Switching templates or redesigning the page does not touch them.

If a new version no longer shows a block, its tab says No longer on the page. You can ask the AI to put it back, or press Remove. Removing only hides the tab. The items are kept, and they come back if you add the block again.
