New Blog Templates

[Nik]

Hi there,

we are redesigning our website and blog. What's the best workflow to publish old blog posts with new templates?

What happens if I change the blog templates with live blog posts?

Thanks,

Nik

Hi @Nik

Currently HubSpot doesn't have any blog staging tools (I think something is in the pipeline) so updating the design of an  existing blog is a bit of a game. 

The best way currently is something like:

• Create a test blog and clone a few posts acorss to it
• Hide the blog and posts from Google
• Develop and test the new templates
• When ready, apply the new templates to the main blog
• Fix any formatting issues on live posts
• Take down the test blog

Hope that helps.
