  * If you want the blog page to open when you enter your domain without any path you can navigate to Settings > Domains > Edit Domain > Select the blog page as the default page. You can set it up so that the blog opens at blog.thedemoaccount.com instead of blog.thedemoaccount.com/home

  **Step 3: How do domains work within the blog?**

  You add the domain to the Funnel or Website where the blog element is added. Here is a Blog URL format example:

  * Domain: XYZ.com&#x20;
  * Slug of the post: b/sample-demo
  * Final url: XYZ.com/b/sample-demo

  **Pro Tips:**

  * Categories: Blog Post details will require Category. You can add multiple categories.
  * Category details such as name, slug, and SEO details can be customized within Blogs Settings.
  * Blog Author and Keywords are optional. Author details can be customized in Blogs Settings with a name, photo, and also social media information. Keywords can be set from the “publish” section.
