# Add a blog to your Bolt site

> Add a blog to your Bolt site: sign up free, paste one prompt into Bolt, and your first researched article goes live at /blog. No CMS to run.

Yes, you can add a blog to a site you built with Bolt. Sign up for Mentionwell, paste the setup prompt from the Connect screen into Bolt, and it builds a /blog page that pulls your articles. Mentionwell writes and publishes them; you don't run a CMS.

## Setup

1. **Sign up free and add your domain.** Create an account and enter your site's address. Mentionwell reads the site to learn what you sell and who it is for. No card, and the 14-day trial includes one real article.

2. **Paste the setup prompt into Bolt.** In the app, open Connect, choose “In a chat on a website”, and copy the setup prompt. It already has your site's keys in it. Paste it into the Bolt chat for your project. Bolt adds a /blog page and an article page that pull your posts from the Mentionwell Reader API.

3. **Publish, and your first article goes live.** Publish the Bolt project as usual. Your first article appears at yoursite.com/blog, and every new article shows up there on its own. No CMS, no copy and paste.

## Start from a template

[Lovable / Bolt / v0 blog kit](https://github.com/ziplyne-agency/mentionwell-lovable-bolt-kit): Drop-in blog pages, a reader client, a key-holding proxy function and the exact paste prompt for Lovable, Bolt and v0.

## FAQ

### Can I add a blog to a Bolt.new site?

Yes. Bolt writes the /blog page from the Mentionwell setup prompt. The page reads your posts from the Mentionwell Reader API, so new articles appear without another prompt.

### Do I need a CMS?

No. Mentionwell stores and serves the articles. Your site only needs a /blog page that reads them, and your AI builder writes that page for you from the setup prompt.

### Can I read and edit posts before they go out?

Yes. Every article lives in the Mentionwell dashboard, where you can read it, edit it, and change what gets written next. Your /blog page shows whatever is published there.

### What does it cost to try?

Nothing. Every new account gets a 14-day trial with one real article written for your site (it starts as soon as setup finishes), plus a few AI visibility checks. No card. After 14 days you stay on the Free plan, which still writes 1 article a month. Builder is $24/month ($19/month billed yearly) for 5 articles, a weekly AI search check, and the CLI and MCP for your coding agent. Starter is $79/month for 15 articles.
