Replace Our Content

In this step we learn to use our intuitive page builder to replace the default PastorBlogs content with your content. Think written content (not blogs yet) and pictures. We also use the Edit Page area to change out the "featured image" of each page and edit the page descriptions and titles for SEO and social sharing.
