The Photographers’ Blogger

Getting started — Help Center

First-time onboarding

A short two-step setup that tells us who you are and connects your website. Most photographers finish it in minutes.

The first time you sign in, a short two-step setup gets everything ready. It's quick by design — most photographers finish in a few minutes.

Step 1 — Your Profile

We ask for your First Name (required) and Last Name (optional). Your email is already filled in from sign-up. That's the entire step.

Step 2 — Connect Website

Choose the platform your website runs on:

  • WordPress — click Connect via Application Password and follow the guided steps. See Creating an application password if you'd like the detail up front.
  • Wix — choose Wix, approve the TPB app in the window that opens, and close it after the Wix success page — done. Full walkthrough: Connecting your website.
  • ShowIt — connects exactly like WordPress, using your WordPress username and an application password (never your Showit login). Direct publishing requires the "Showit & Advanced Blog" plan — see Creating an application password. With the Basic Starter Blog plan, posts arrive by email, ready to paste.
  • Squarespace — you don't connect anything. We'll deliver posts by email, ready for you to paste into your Squarespace blog editor.

For a full walkthrough of each platform — including how to connect later — see Connecting your website.

After onboarding

You'll land on your dashboard with everything in place. Topic ideas are one click away — see Creating your first post.

Tip

Need to step away mid-setup? No problem. Sign back in any time and finish the step you have left.
