1. **Cover Image**: Click the top banner area to upload a header image asset.
2. **Article Title**: Type your headline directly at the top.
3. **Tags**: Add categorical tags (e.g. `match-report`, `announcement`) by typing a keyword and pressing Enter.
4. **Excerpt / Summary**: Provide a short synopsis that displays on article cards and search snippets.
5. **Rich Text Body**: Write your content with full support for headings, bold/italic formatting, bullet lists, numbered lists, blockquotes, and code blocks.

## Step 3: Saving and URL Slugs

Click **Save Article** in the top right. 

The system automatically generates a permanent, date-stamped **Article Slug** (e.g. `2026-09-01-season-opening-victory`), ensuring search-engine friendly URLs for your live articles. Dynamic **News List** blocks on your site will automatically display your newest posts!
