Write your first post

Open the Editor, write your first update, and click Post — it appears in the Timeline right away. Then click the gear icon to get your embed code.

Copy the embed code into your CMS

In Settings → General, find the Embed Code field. It includes a <script> tag for the standard embed and an <esi:include> tag for SEO-friendly embedding — copy whichever fits your CMS.

Paste it into your CMS

Paste the code into your article, page builder, or your CMS's custom HTML block — wherever you want the live blog to appear.

See it live

Your live blog now appears right on your article, updating in real time for every reader who visits your site.

Pro tip

Make Live Blog SEO-friendly and grow your Google traffic

Skip iframes and use ESI instead. It keeps your live blog fully indexable by search engines, so it can appear in Google Top News with a live label.
