# Posts

> Write and publish blog-style articles for your Marzipan-hosted site.

Posts are blog-style articles. Where a [page](/cms/pages) is built from a template and assembled from sections, a post is a single piece of writing with a fixed set of fields.

To find your posts, click on **CMS** in the main navigation menu, then open **Posts**.

## Post content

Each post has:

* A **title** and **slug**
* An **excerpt** and **content**
* An **author**
* **Featured** and **social** images
* **Meta** title and description
* A **draft** or **published** status

The **excerpt** is the short summary used in listings, while the **content** is the body of the article itself.

## Images

A post carries two images:

* The **featured** image, used on the post and in listings
* The **social** image, used when the post is shared

## Publishing

A post is either a **draft** or **published**. Drafts stay off your site until you're ready, so you can write in the dashboard and publish when the piece is finished.

<Tip>
  Group your posts into a [collection](/cms/collections) to build a blog index or a curated reading list.
