Limecube includes a fully integrated blog that uses the same page editor you already know. Create and manage blog content with all the same tools available for your other pages — plus blog-specific features like categories, tags, comments, and scheduled publishing.
The Blog Summary Page
The main blog page displays previews of your published posts. Only one blog summary page can exist per site, though you can add blog feed elements to other pages. The summary page settings let you control the layout, number of posts displayed, excerpt length, and visibility of metadata like author, date, categories, and tags.
Blog Summary Settings
The blog summary page includes a comprehensive set of display options. Layouts — change how your blog summary or feed appears on your page, with a live preview of each option. Categories Filter — restrict the blog feed to display posts from selected categories only. Tags Filter — restrict the blog feed to display posts from selected tags only. Number of Posts — controls how many posts are displayed in this area. Excerpt Length — the number of characters shown in each post summary. Link Text — controls the anchor text for clicking through to read the full post.
Description — controls whether the description is shown in the feed. Author — pulls the author's full name from your profile page. Date — controls whether the date of the post is shown in the feed. Categories — controls whether the category of the post is shown in the feed. Tags — controls whether the tags for the post are shown in the feed. Page Numbers — turns on or off page numbers and previous/next navigation beneath your blog posts.
Carousel Mode — when enabled, all posts display on one row with left and right arrows for scrolling. Posts per Row — controls the number of visible posts per row and resizes the preview accordingly. Width — choose auto (fits the section) or fixed (exact width). Image Thumb — for horizontal layouts, controls whether the image thumbnail is displayed. Post Image Width — for horizontal layouts, sets the image width and adjusts the description width to fit. Post Image Height — sets the height for your image.
Minimum Width — for masonry layouts, controls the minimum card width with flexible sizing. Rounded Corners — gives the blog post image rounded corners, with the ability to adjust each corner individually. Blog Spacing — controls the space between posts. Space Around Text — controls padding to allow enough area for your text to breathe.
Blog Feed Settings
Blog feed elements placed on other pages share many of the same settings as the summary page, plus additional responsive controls for carousel mode. Slides (Wide Screen) — controls posts per row on desktop displays. Slides (Medium Screen) — controls posts per row on tablet displays. Slides (Mobile Screen) — controls posts per row on mobile displays. These responsive slide settings allow you to fine-tune the number of visible posts at each breakpoint, ensuring the feed looks polished on all devices.
Feed elements also include Categories Filter, Tags Filter, Number of Posts, Excerpt Length, Link Text, Description, Author, Date, Categories, Tags, Page Numbers, Carousel Mode, Width, Image Thumb, Post Image Width and Height, Rounded Corners (with individual corner adjustment for creative styling), Blog Spacing, and Space Around Text — all functioning the same as the summary page equivalents.
Creating Blog Posts
How to Create a New Blog Post
- 1Open the Pages panel and click 'Add new' at the bottom
- 2Click 'New blog post'
- 3Choose either 'Generate AI Blog Post' or 'Make my own blog post'
AI-Generated Posts
Select your preferred AI model — OpenAI's GPT or Anthropic's Claude — then complete the AI Blog Assistant wizard. It is recommended to use slightly different inputs to your site-wide AI settings, as blog posts usually have a different style and approach to your main website pages. The AI creates a full post based on your topic, which you can then edit and refine using the page editor.
Manual Creation
Add your page name (this is usually your blog post title), select the layout you want (the layout can still be customised after creation), then click apply. Start entering content as you would on any other page, using content blocks, images, videos, and any other elements.
Post Settings
Each post supports categories and tags for organisation, a summary/thumbnail image, a publication date (including future scheduling), featured post designation, a custom excerpt (which overrides the feed description length), and author attribution pulled from your user profile.
Post Summary Image
The summary image is the default image displayed on the main blog page and in any blog feed elements. To add or change a summary image, open the blog post settings, select the browse button next to 'Summary image', choose your desired image, and click 'Apply'. You can also update the summary image directly from the blog summary page by hovering over the current image and clicking the settings icon that appears.
Default Thumbnail Image
You can set a default thumbnail image that loads automatically when a post does not have a specific summary image uploaded. Navigate to Administration > Settings > Miscellaneous > Blog, upload your default thumbnail image, and press 'Save all'. This ensures your blog summary page always looks complete, even for posts without a dedicated image.
Changing the Post Date
To change the publication date of a blog post, open the blog post settings and select 'Publish date', then choose the new date. Posts are ordered by their publication date on the summary page. Setting a future date allows you to schedule a blog post — it will only appear on your site once that date is reached.
Hiding the Date Display
To hide the date from displaying on blog posts, go to Administration > Settings, select More from the top menu, then click the Blog tab in the left panel. Switch 'Show date' to off and save your changes.
Blog Author
The author shown against a blog post is taken from the profile page under your account. Changing the name under your profile automatically updates all blog posts. At this time, only one author can be attributed to blog posts.
Hiding the Author Display
To hide the author from displaying on blog posts, go to Administration > Settings, select More from the top menu, then click the Blog tab in the left panel. Switch 'Show author' to off and save your changes.
Reading Time
The estimated reading time displayed at the top of a blog post is a fixed value and cannot be adjusted or turned off. The time is calculated based on 5 minutes per 1,000 words.
Featured Posts
A featured post appears first on your summary page and in any blog feeds. Only one post can be featured at a time — selecting a new featured post automatically removes the previous one. On other blog layouts, the featured post stays in the same format as other posts but remains fixed to the top.
Categories and Tags
Categories and tags help readers discover relevant content. Categories can optionally appear in your site navigation menu as sub-pages. Both are managed through dedicated admin interfaces and can be added or removed from individual posts.
Creating Categories and Tags
To create a new category or tag, click the appropriate button in your blog settings, then fill in the required fields: Title, URL (the page URL for front-end access), Meta Title and Meta Description (for SEO), No Index (recommended in most cases to avoid duplicate content issues), No Follow (tells Google whether they can follow the links on this page), and Show on Menu (publishes the category to your blog menu as a sub-page).
Blog Feeds on Other Pages
Blog summary/feed elements can be placed on any page and filtered by specific categories or tags. This is useful for displaying relevant posts on service pages or topic-specific landing pages. To add a blog feed, navigate to your desired page, click 'Add Element', scroll to the 'Blog' section, and drag 'Blog summary / feed' onto a page section. You can add as many feed elements as you like across your site.
Enabling Comments
- 1Configure Google reCAPTCHA under your site settings — this protects both website forms and blog comments from spam
- 2Activate comments by going to the top menu, selecting More, then Administration > Settings > Blog, scrolling to 'Comments', and clicking 'Activate comments'. Choose your approval type: automatic (comments appear immediately) or admin required (review before publishing). Under both conditions, you will receive an email notification to your subscriber email address
- 3Optionally set up social login buttons for commenters — at this time, Limecube does not allow guest comments for your protection
Open Graph Settings
Open Graph settings are important for blog posts being shared on social media. Customise how your posts appear when shared by configuring the Open Graph metadata for each post.
Additional Features
Blog Archive — automatically displays years containing published posts.
Publish consistently and use descriptive categories to build a well-organised blog archive. This helps both readers and search engines understand your content structure.
