Before you start customizing your new KW Agent Site, you first need to ensure you Upgrade to the New Agent Site Experience. Once you upgrade, you will see a new navigation in the Consumer Applet, in Command, and you will be able to follow along with this article. If you are on a team and have created your KW Team Site, team members with Enhanced or Unlimited permissions have the ability to manage their KW Team Site. |
Before you start editing the pages of your website, it's recommended to add the individual content elements to the Library and then edit the page. This will make editing each page easier, and you won't have to sidetrack to add the content elements while building out your pages.
This article is focused on editing the Blog page of your site, but there are articles for other pages and sections as well:
- Edit the Homepage of Your KW Agent or Team Site
- Edit the About Me Page on Your KW Agent Site
- Edit the Meet the Team Page for Your KW Team Site (Team Site Only)
- Create a Custom Page for Your KW Agent or Team Site
- Create a Standalone Landing Page
- Create a Single Property Landing Page
To edit the Blog page of your KW Agent Site:
1. Log in to https://agent.kw.com with your KW login credentials.
2. Click to access the Websites Applet, , on the left side of the page.
3. On the My Websites tab, click the Edit Agent Site button.
4. At the top right of the page, click to access Expert Mode.

If you are on a team and have created your KW Team Site, team members with Enhanced or Unlimited permissions have the ability to manage their KW Team Site. To switch to your Team Site, click your name, at the top of the page, select your team from the drop-down and follow along below. |
5. In the Default Pages section, click Page: Blog List Page.
6. In the page preview, you will see the header text says "My Blog" by default. Use the Display Name field to edit this text to be whatever you want. In addition, use the Hide Title toggle, in the Page Heading section, to hide/unhide this text.
- Ensure you use the preview to make sure it looks like you want. If you add too much text to the Display Name, your Background Image will be cropped and might look different than you envisioned.
- If you delete custom text you typed in the Display Name field, the system will default the text back to "My Blog."
7. For the Header Image, you will see a default image added already. If you want to change the image, click on the existing image, and then either select an image you have already added to the content library, or use the Create New flow to upload a new image.
- When you delete a custom image you have added previously, the system will automatically replace it with the default image.
8. In the Page List section, select whether you want to display blog posts on this page or not. Use the drop-down and select either Display or Hide.
|
It is not recommended to hide the blog posts in this way. Using this setting, the blog posts would be removed, but the page will still contain the header image/text and that would leave a blank page that visitors would see. If you want to fully hide the Blog portion of your site, first remove the Blog list from your homepage, then you would need to fully customize your site navigation to remove the Blog option and will be able to replace it with anything you want. |
9. Next, enter a Title and Description for this section. There is default text in place, but you can replace that with your own.
- The Description is like a subtitle for the section, displaying under the Title.
10. Next, choose how you want these to populate on the homepage. There are two options available: Dynamic and Basic:
- Don't use the Advanced option, as the options connected to that option not enabled at this time.
Dynamic - use this option to give the system parameters around how you want the blog posts displayed, and then to select the blog posts you want included.
- The only settings in this section that is relevant right now is the ability to set how you want the blog posts sorted, and how many you want displayed.
- Once you have added blog posts to the list, you have the ability to remove/restore specific posts, and to re-order the list.
- When adding blog posts, you have the ability to create the post directly, or you can search the Agent Website Builder Content Library and select blog posts you have already added beforehand.
Basic - this option gives you the ability to add blog posts to the list and to manually control the order in which they are displayed.
- Once you have added blog posts to the list, you have the ability to remove/restore specific posts, and to re-order the list.
- When adding blog posts, you have the ability to create the post directly, or you can search the Agent Website Builder Content Library and select blog posts you have already added beforehand.
