# Create a blog and publish your first post

Go from a topic to a live article, whether you write it yourself or use AI.

## Create your blog

1.  Sign in to PixelClaw. When asked to create a blog, enter a **Blog name**. Keep the suggested **Blog address** or choose an available one. Select **Create blog**.
    
2.  Open **Write a post**. Enter your topic. For example, a running shop could start with “How to choose shoes for your first 5K.”
    

## Write and review

1.  Choose **Write it myself** to start your own draft. For AI assistance, select a research option, check the displayed credit price, and choose **Research and write with AI**.
    
2.  On the AI path, review the outline. Change headings, reorder sections, or add directions before requesting the draft. Read the draft and check claims against the sources.
    
3.  Edit your article and select **Save draft**. Open **Optimize** to review the findings, then **Preview** to read the saved version as a visitor would.
    

## Publish and check the result

1.  Open **Publish** and choose **Publish now** when you are ready for the post to be public. If the score blocks publication, address the findings, save, and try again.
    
2.  Open the live post from the confirmation or dashboard and check its title, image, and links. For later edits, save the changes and select **Publish changes** to update the public version.
    

Keeping a draft private? Save it and stop before Publish. A preview does not make it public.
