Why is the blog editor so behind the webpage editor? They feel like completely different products and the blog editor is stuck in the 1990s. It’s shocking, actually. It’s so barebones that I can’t believe I just paid money for it.
The Blog editor is so limited. Almost zero design options, no drag and drop modules, next to no options to make a blog post look beautiful. It’s essentially text, text, image between two paragraphs, text, text. That’s it.
For the money we just shelled out for CMS Pro I sure hope that this is something that will receive a major overhaul soon.
@Sascha are you using a theme from the marketplace? Or building your own theme? When you say there are no drag and drop modules, and no options, that makes me think you’re using a very basic theme. Just a thought.
I am using the Act3 theme. And according to HubSpot’s own documentation, the only place on the blog that can be designed using the drag and drop modules is the blog listing page. No modules and no drag and drop can be used in actual blog posts. There you only have the bare minimum rich text editor.
@Sascha yes, currently all themes are limited by the capabilities within HubSpot, there is an idea by @Anton for DnD blog posts that is now marked In Planning.
I recommend upvoting this idea and adding any specific feedback for functionality that you are looking for here so that it is captured for the product team.
never worked with Act3 but if it’s as good as Act2 - you’ve picked one of the top 10 themes out there!
let’s put it that way - yes, you can’t have drag&drop in blog posts by default. As @Jnix284 mentioned - there is an idea for that . Would be awesome if you could “like” and “share” it.
Also - I have created somekind of drag&drop blog posts in the past (currently developing one again) but this approach has to be done by a developer.
So - it’s possible but requires a lot of planning and coding before a content creator/marketer can easily use it.
