Welcome to your new Blog! We’re really excited to see what you do with it. This private post is here to show you what your posts will look like and to give you a few tips on getting started. Feel free to edit it, delete it or keep it saved as private for reference later.

Publishing

If you’re familiar with WordPress, you’ll be right at home. To get started creating your own posts head to your Dashboard and click Add New to bring up the editor.

Fill it up with whatever you choose; it could be a recipe, a review of a new product you love, or simply a new idea that needs to be shared with the world.

Whatever you do decide to write about, it’s always a great idea to start off with a post telling your audience a little bit about yourself and what topics they can expect to read about on your blog.

Tip: Choose a Category for your blog to help people discover it!

Hit Publish and that’s it – your post will be live and ready for reading.

The new post will be included in the Reader of other members and may also make an appearance on the Community front page, (vivaldi.net).

P.S. Don’t forget to share your new creation far and wide! Tag Vivaldi (on Twitter or Facebook) – we’d love to see what you come up with!

Customization

There are a number of ways to customize the look of your new Blog. Head to your site’s Admin Dashboard > Appearance and select one of the themes, site icon, header images, page layouts, custom widgets and much more.

Import

To import content from another blog, select Tools > Import from the menu in your dashboard. Right now there are importers for WordPress, Blogger and Tumblr. If you’d like to import content from another service, let us know!

FAQ

What is the Vivaldi Community?

A place for our friends to hang out online. We want to create a place where people can publish, read and discuss ideas with likeminded folks from around the world. We hope you like it.

Do I have to use Vivaldi’s browser to be here?

No. Many Community members use our browser. But many don’t. Everyone is welcome.

What’s included?

Every member gets a free webmail account ([email protected]), access to the Vivaldi Forums, a free Blog with a custom domain (yourblog.vivaldi.net) and can synchronize their Vivaldi browser data across multiple devices.

What’s the catch?

We have no plans to monetize, share your data or start charging for any of these services. The Community is simply a way for us to give something back to our users. No catch.

Help and Feedback

Help articles for the Community can be found at help.vivaldi.com. If something seems off or you run into a bug, please let us know by using our contact form or leaving a comment on the forum.

Have a read of our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and let us know if you have any questions.

Enjoy, and welcome!

Last but not least, here’s a quick preview of some of the new blocks available with WordPress Gutenberg.

Gallery block

If you click the images you will see that they open in a nice lightbox that allows you to slide through to the next one.

This is an example of a large block quote. You can style it with a different background and text color.
