Welcome to Postach.io!
Postach.io is the blogging platform that's powered by your Evernote documents.
Creating a Post
Postach.io creates blog posts and pages from your notes. To create a post, write a note and tag it as "published" in this notebook. Then click the "Sync" button. Bam! Your note is published on your site, just like that!
Creating a Page
Creating a page works the same, except you add an additional tag "page". This tells Postach.io to create your note as page instead of a post.
Editing a Post
Updating a note is just as easy. Try making a change to this note, and click the "Sync" button. Visit your site, and you'll see its been updated.
Deleting a Post
To remove a note from your site, simply remove the "published" tag and re-sync. You could also delete the note itself. Its that easy!
How do I change the profile photo on my site?
To upload a custom profile photo, click "Choose File" in your site settings and select the image you want to use. Thats it! For those who use Gravatar, we support that by default too.
Creating Additional Sites?
To create a site, click the "Create New Site" button above. You'll be taken to Evernote to authenticate your account. You'll then be able to select an Evernote notebook, a unique subdomain along with other details such as author, twitter username and Google analytics code.
How can I format the style of my posts and pages?
There are several ways to format your notes. The easiest is to use the Evernote browser version. Although Evernote has a desktop and mobile version, their browser app has more formatting options for fonts, resizing and aligning images and inserting other elements. The second option is to use Markdown. This is basically a way of using regular text elements to format your notes. You can learn more about Markdown here. The last, and more advanced approach is to use HTML directly. Postach.io supports basic HTML elements and styles.
How can I add comments to my blog posts?
Postach.io uses Disqus for comments. Its a widely used and excellent tool for adding threaded comments to your site quickly. You'll need to create an account, which is free, to start using it.
