This article is the main reference for how a document works in MyReady and which blocks are available in the editor. The rest of the starter texts on the site can be edited, moved to draft, or deleted once the example has done its job.
Page, post, languages, draft
- Page means stable sections: home, FAQ, contacts, legal texts.
- Post means a blog entry: articles, guides, or dated news.
- Languages: if the site has several languages, one item has tabs such as RU / EN and so on. Switching tabs does not duplicate the entity, it opens linked versions of the same item.
- Draft: while enabled, the item is not published on the Hugo site but stays in the project. Use this for work in progress and for hiding examples you want to keep for later.
- Description (SEO) in the metadata panel is for search engines and snippets (including social previews). The blog list excerpt comes from the body: everything before the
<!--more-->line (if you omit it, Hugo usually takes the opening of the article). - After Save, the site usually rebuilds and visitors see the updated version once the build finishes.
All editor blocks (+ or Tab)
Below are the blocks available from the insert menu. Many of them also support inline tools such as bold, italic, link, marker, and monospace.
| Block in the interface | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Text | Regular paragraphs; the main body of an article. |
| Heading | Levels H2-H6 (H1 is not used in the body because the page title comes from the item card). |
| List | Bulleted or numbered lists with inline formatting inside items. |
| Table | A grid for comparisons, prices, and checklist-style layouts. |
| Code | A code snippet with highlighting; useful for technical instructions. |
| Quote | A highlighted quotation styled by the theme. |
| Checklist | A list with checkboxes; useful for “done / not done” flows. |
| Image | Upload a file or insert by URL, plus a caption; files are stored in the item’s bundle folder. |
| Embed | Embedding by link, for example YouTube or Rutube. |
| Delimiter | A visual separator between meaning blocks. |
| Spacer | A vertical gap of a chosen height between blocks. |
| Read more | Everything above the marker becomes the excerpt in post listings; everything below is shown after “Read more”. In Markdown, the same is done with <!--more-->. |
| FAQ | Question and answer pairs rendered on the site as a themed accordion. |
| File | A download link; the file is placed in the bundle folder next to index.*.md (through Files or editor upload). |
| Google Form | Embedding a form by id from the Google Forms URL for lead capture without a custom backend. |
| Raw HTML | Raw HTML for snippets that standard blocks do not cover; test on a draft and on mobile. |
| Pexels | Separate block: stock image search and insert (requires a Pexels key in settings). |
| DALL·E 3 | Separate block: image generation from a prompt (requires an OpenAI key). |
| Image placeholder | A slot for a future illustration: upload, Pexels, and DALL·E are available inside the block; when the image is ready, the block is replaced with a normal Image block. Often used with AI — see AI assistant. |
Inline formatting inside a line
In text, headings, lists, and table cells you can use: bold, italic, links, marker highlighting, and monospace fragments for commands and paths.
Google Form: lead collection without a backend
- Create a form in Google Forms, publish it, and copy the id from the URL (
.../d/e/ID/viewformor similar). - In the editor, add a Google Form block and paste the id. Adjust iframe height if needed.
What to do on day one
- Open the home page, FAQ, and contacts and replace placeholders with real data or move the pages to draft.
- Review the menu and keep only the sections you are ready to show to clients.
- Publish one short post that answers a real audience question.
- Make sure there are no internal placeholder phrases like “example” left where your real voice should be.
What not to spend time on right away
- Dozens of empty pages.
- Fancy layout before the main copy is ready.
- Publishing raw unfinished material “just for volume.”
