Batch Import Is Here: Move Your Whole Backlog in One Drop

Writing one article at a time is fine. Writing fifty is a job for the Bulk Import button, which is now sitting quietly at the top of your Articles page waiting to earn its keep.

Point it at a JSON file with an array of articles and Blotd handles the rest. Each entry takes a title, slug, tags, meta title, meta description, and an HTML article body. We strip the HTML to compute reading time, run the same validations as the single-article form, and skip anything with a duplicate slug so nothing gets clobbered. You get a per-article report at the end; green for imported, yellow for skipped, with a reason for every miss.

A few things worth knowing. Imports default to draft so nothing goes live by accident, with a Publish all on import toggle for when you actually mean it. You can scope the whole batch to one or more API keys, which is the fast way to seed a new blog without touching individual articles. The cap is 100 articles per request; if you have more, split the file.

JSON keeps things bulletproof for multi-line HTML, no YAML indentation gotchas, no escaping nightmares. Generate the file from a spreadsheet, a script, or an LLM, and ship the lot.

Available now on every plan. Subject to your normal article limit.
