A checklist before your first real post
This is a sample post seeded by OGTool so your blog is never empty. Delete it once real posts are live.
Run through this once. Each check takes under a minute.
Five checks
- Open the blog on your real domain and confirm this post loads there
- View page source and confirm the canonical URL points at your domain
- Open /sitemap.xml under the blog path and confirm it lists the sample posts
- Open /rss.xml under the blog path and confirm it parses
- Compare the blog's fonts and colors against your homepage
When something fails
The setup prompt's verify step reports which check failed and why. Re-run it after each fix; it is safe to call repeatedly.
Then delete the samples
Once a real post is published, delete the three sample posts. They are regular posts, so the dashboard and the public API can both remove them.
