How I Created a Blog Upload Template with ChatGPT (And You Can Too)
🧠 Why I Needed a Blog Upload Template
Let’s be real: blogging is a great marketing tool… until you sit down and think, “Wait, what size image do I need again? Where do tags go? Did I forget SEO?”
I knew I needed a repeatable checklist to make blog uploading less chaotic—and who better to help me build it than my trusty sidekick, ChatGPT?
Here’s how I did it, step by step. (Bonus: You can download the same checklist below!)
🛠️ Step 1: Tell ChatGPT What You Need
I started with a clear prompt:
“Create a checklist I can use when uploading blog posts to Squarespace. Include SEO, content structure, and image formatting.”
The result? A super tidy list broken into 5 parts:
Post Basics
Body Content
Tools + Visuals
Wrap-Up + CTA
SEO & Tags
✅ Step 2: Turn It Into a Downloadable Doc
Once I had the list, I asked ChatGPT to turn it into a downloadable Word checklist, with tick boxes for each item.
Now every time I write a blog, I just open the doc, tick it off, and upload without second-guessing.
🎨 Step 3: Design a Blog Header in Canva
To go with the post, I created a matching Canva banner using my brand colours and tone. Bonus points if it makes your blog feel like a series—not a one-off.
Use this prompt:
“Create a blog header that matches the theme ‘easy blogging for small business’. Use soft colours, flat icons, and friendly fonts.”
📈 Step 4: Reuse It Like a Pro
Now I use the same template for every post:
Drop in my title
Write the intro using the formula
Follow the checklist
Hit publish and move on
It’s saved me hours—and the mental drama of wondering “Did I forget something?”
