Getting Started as a Blogger
This guide is for contributors -- people who have been invited to write and publish content on an OQO-powered site.
Signing Up
Your site admin will share a signup link with you. Click it to create your account using one of the available social login options (Google, GitHub, etc.) -- no password to remember.
After signing in for the first time, you'll land on the Blogger Dashboard with a welcome message and a quick overview of how things work.
Your Dashboard
The Blogger Dashboard is your home base. It shows:
- How This Works -- a 4-step overview: create, submit, get feedback, go live
- Stats -- your total posts, published count, pending reviews, and drafts
- Recent Activity -- the latest review results on your submissions (approved, needs revision, flagged, or rejected)
If you're brand new, you'll see a Create Your First Post button to get started right away.
Sidebar Navigation
Your sidebar has everything you need:
| Item | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Dashboard | Your overview with stats and recent activity |
| Getting Started | In-app guide explaining the workflow, editor, AI assistants, and review process |
| Post Board | Kanban-style board for managing all your posts across blogs |
| Profile | Edit your name, username, bio, and avatar |
| API Keys | Manage personal API access tokens |
The sidebar also shows your Recent Reviews -- quick links to posts that received feedback, so you can jump straight to revision.
At the bottom: a View Site link to see the public website.
