# Write it down. Send it out.

> Write a post in the PixelGlass editor, check it in your theme, and publish it to your site, your newsletter or both. By hand or with your agent.

A post on PixelGlass starts as a draft that saves as you type. When it is ready, the publish page shows it in your theme, and **you choose the site, the email or both**.

## By hand, in the admin

1. Press **New post** in the navbar. Type the title, press Enter for the subtitle, and Enter again for the body.
2. Add pictures, video, callouts and buttons from the **Blocks** menu, or from the column of cards beside the page. The draft saves as you type.
3. Open **Post settings** for the address, the tags, who can read it, and the meta title and description.
4. Press **Publish**. The publish page shows the post in your theme. With a newsletter, choose Site, Email or Site and email, then press **Next**.
5. Under **When**, keep **Now** and press **Publish**.

## With your agent

> Write a draft from the notes below, call it “Ten things the river taught me”, and tag it Field notes.

> Turn this interview transcript into a post with three subheadings, then send me the preview link.

> Publish the draft about the spring menu now.

The tools it calls: `create_post`, `update_post_settings`, `publish_post`.

## Examples

- **A bakery's weekly bake list.** A baker dictates the week's breads into her phone. **Her agent makes the draft and tags it**, and she reads the preview and presses Publish.
- **A long essay, one sitting at a time.** A historian writes over a month. The draft saves as he types, and he publishes to the site and the newsletter on the same morning.
