🪶 Editing Text, Adding Links, and Formatting in Bearblog

This quick tutorial shows you exactly which part of your post to edit and how to add links or text formatting — without touching any code that controls images, scripts, or styling.

Accessing Your Post Editor

First, you need to get to the place where you can write or edit.

Log in to your Bearblog account.

You will see your Dashboard.

Goto Home.

You will now be in the editor, which is a simple text area

🧩 1. Identify the Editable Section

Your post has four parts, but you only need to edit the plain text section (the writing itself). Everything else — images, scripts, and styles — should stay untouched.

Here’s the breakdown:

  1. Image Code (❌ Don’t Edit This)

    <div align="center">
  <img src="..." alt="screenshot" width="50%">
</div>

  2. Your Written Content (✅ Edit This Part)

    To stay true to myself, and to my writing...
...
...
That's why I write.

  3. Script Code (❌ Don’t Edit This)

    <script>
(async () => { ... })();
</script>

  4. Style Code (❌ Don’t Edit This)

    <style>
...
</style>

So, your focus should be on the plain text section — the part where your words and paragraphs live.

🔗 2. How to Add a Link in Your Text

To make any word or phrase clickable, you’ll use a simple Markdown format for links:

[Clickable Text](https://your-link.com)

Let’s apply that to a line from your post.

Example:

Original Sentence:

We won't confront our biggest problems: wars, refugee crises, equality, and so on.

Goal: Turn “refugee crises” into a clickable link to the UNHCR website.

Step-by-Step:

  1. Find the words to link: refugee crises
  2. Wrap them in square brackets: [refugee crises]
  3. Add your URL in parentheses right after: (https://www.unhcr.org)
  4. Combine them (no spaces in between): [refugee crises](https://www.unhcr.org)

✅ Result:

We won't confront our biggest problems: wars, refugee crises, equality, and so on.

Now, “refugee crises” will appear as a clickable link when your post is published.

✏️ 3. How to Format Text (Bold and Italics)

You can easily make text stand out using bold or italic formatting.

🔹 To Make Text Bold

Wrap the word or phrase with two asterisks:

That's why I **write**.

Result: That’s why I write.

🔹 To Make Text Italic

Wrap the word or phrase with one asterisk:

Writing isn't the text, it's the *subtext*.

Result: Writing isn't the text, it's the subtext.

🚀 4. Save and Publish Your Changes

After editing your text:

  1. Scroll down to the bottom of your Bearblog editor.
  2. Click “Preview” to make sure your formatting looks right.
  3. Then click “Publish” to update your post.
