Add a blog to Wix
Paste the CMSKite embed into a Wix page and your posts show there, styled like the rest of your site. It takes about five minutes.
Before you start
- A CMSKite account with at least one published post. The free plan is enough
- Your blog name. It is the
data-blogvalue in the snippet under Connect website in the dashboard - A Wix site on a plan that lets you add custom code
Add the embed
Add a Blog page
In the Wix editor add a page and name it Blog.
Add Embed HTML
Add → Embed Code → Embed HTML. Choose Code and paste the snippet.
html<div id="cmskite-blog"></div> <script src="https://cmskite.com/embed.js" data-blog="your-blog" async></script>Size it and publish
Drag the box to the width of the page and make it tall. Publish.
Where the posts live
Wix places every embed inside a frame. Readers see the posts on your page, but search engines credit them to the frame's address, not your domain. Your free blog link at cmskite.com/b/your-blog is therefore the copy that ranks: link to it from your menu as well.
Check that it works
- Publish a short test post in the dashboard
- Open the Wix page in a private window and reload. The post should be in the list within a minute
- Open the post. Its address should be your site's, not cmskite.com
- Delete or unpublish the test post when you are done
Tell Google about the posts
Search engines find embedded posts faster with a sitemap that lists them at your own addresses. CMSKite writes one for you:
https://cmskite.com/b/your-blog/site-sitemap.xmlOn Wix the copy that ranks is your free blog link, and it has its own sitemap. There is nothing to add.
The whole picture is in Making your posts findable.
Match your colours
The embed takes your site's fonts and text colour by itself. Set the accent (links and buttons) with data-accent, as any CSS colour:
<script src="https://cmskite.com/embed.js" data-blog="your-blog" data-accent="#0f766e" async></script>If something is wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Nothing shows | Check data-blog matches the name under Connect website, and that at least one post is published, not a draft |
| An old post list | Posts appear within a minute of publishing. Reload without the cache (Shift + reload) |
| The list is cut off | Make the Embed HTML box taller |
What it cannot do
- Clean /blog/my-post addresses: Wix allows no server rewrites
- Posts ranking on your Wix domain: the frame prevents it. Use the free blog link for search
