Follow this guide when you are publishing a blog to Philsmypharmacist.com. In addition to standard post fields in WordPress, there are certain settings and other considerations to review before hitting that Publish button.
Gather assets before composing the blog #
- Transcribe a video from Phil and plug it into ChatGPT to create a blog
- Proofread the blog it comes up with (change the title, they often seem very AI-generated). We should never trust AI to make accurate content.
- Go to Phil’s Amazon storefront and find the products mentioned in the blog (use the search bar on the storefront and look up the blog topic to find products more easily)
- Featured image: take a screenshot of the video that will work as a blog cover, if you are having trouble because text is in the way, ask Katie or Aly for help.
- Gather the links to those products and send a product cutout request to MHS. *Image MUST be 600×600 and use ALL canvas space
Posting the blog to philsmypharmacist.com #
- Once you have received all assets, log in to WP Engine, find philsmypharmacist.com, and select WP Admin
- Then, on the left side, select “posts” and then, “add new post”
- Paste the blog copy in the copy section
- Almost all the time ChatGPT will add “Introduction:” and “Conclusion:” remove those
- Also, sometimes ChatGPT will have the headings with the copy bullet pointed underneath, remove the bullet points- you can look at previous blogs to look at the format
- Blog headings should all be H3
- Add spacers between paragraphs and headings (again look at previous blogs if you need to) the spacer height should be 25px
- On the right side of the screen, you will see a box that says “post | block” switch it to post and make sure the author is listed as Phil Cowley
- In this same box assign the blog a category
- Also, add the featured image
- You will also need to add an excerpt, take the first paragraph under the title, and paste it into the excerpt box
- Next, scroll to the bottom of the page to find the video and “Shop this post” toggle
- Turn on the video toggle and upload the video
Configuring the “Shop This Post” section #
- If there are fewer than 5 products in the post turn on the “less than 5 products” toggle
- Hit “add item” and upload the product image from MHS
- Then add the title of the product
- Finally, add the product link:
- Login to url genius – find info on our login doc
- Grab the link to the product *MUST be from his Amazon storefront- affiliate link
- Copy that link into URL Genius and it will create a shortened link
- Paste that link under the item it belongs to in the “Shop this post” section
Finalize post publishing, review, and approval! #
- When you think you are done, make sure the double check that everything is correct (headings, products, links working, etc.)
- When you save as a draft you can check the preview of the post to see how it will look on the website
- Once all of these steps are completed, save the post as a draft
- Tell a team member (Logan, Aly, or Katie) when you have saved the draft, they will review it and tell you if it is ready to post!
