💡 Tip: If you want seamless styling + native Carrd integration + real SEO, DropInBlog is your best all-around bet.

Why Add a Blog to Carrd?

Carrd is a fast and flexible builder – perfect for landing pages and personal sites. But without a built-in blog, you’re missing out on one of the most powerful tools for growing traffic and trust.

Adding a blog helps you:

• Boost SEO: Create long-form content around long-tail keywords that your main Carrd page can’t rank for.

• Drive engagement: Offer more value and keep visitors exploring your site.

• Build authority: Share insights, tutorials, or stories that position you as a go-to resource.

• Publish without code: Use DropInBlog’s editor to post updates without touching Carrd every time.

Whether you’re a creator, indie founder, or digital marketer, a blog turns your Carrd site into something that can grow with your audience – not just show up.

Carrd Blog Integration Methods Explained

We’ve already compared the top ways to integrate a blog into Carrd – but let’s break each one down so you can choose the right fit.

Option 1: Use DropInBlog (Best for Most Users)

Best for: Carrd users who want an SEO-friendly, visually integrated, and fully managed blog – without building or maintaining a CMS.

For the Carrd blog integration to work, you'll need to create a DropInBlog account, which you can do for free with a trial subscription (no credit card required). You'll also need an existing Carrd Pro Standard (or higher) account and website.

With DropInBlog, you can:

• Schedule posts and assign user roles – ideal for teams or contributors

• Add multiple authors to meet Google’s EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) standards

• Optimize your content with a built-in SEO Analyzer

• Optimize your content for AI using Mention Boost™

• Add rich content: images, videos, tables of contents, product embeds

• Make site-wide changes instantly using Smart Snippets™

• Turn posts into audio content with Blog Voice AI™

• Customize layout and design to match your Carrd site

• Serve static blog posts for fast loading and SEO

DropInBlog comes with a clean content dashboard, so you don’t need to edit Carrd every time you publish. It automatically adopts your Carrd styles (fonts, colors, spacing), making your blog feel like a native part of your site.

Just write, optimize, and hit publish – your content appears instantly on your live Carrd page.

Check out our Carrd blog integration video below to get a better overview of the process before you begin.

 Step 1: Add an Embed Element

Start by opening the Carrd dashboard and selecting the site you want to edit.

1. Choose where you want the blog to appear

2. Click the + icon to add a new element

3. Select Embed from the list

💡 Tip: If you’re creating a separate blog page, add a dedicated Section and link to it from your navbar.

Step 2: Copy Your DropInBlog Embed Code

In a new tab, log in to your DropInBlog dashboard.

1. Go to Code & Layout

2. Copy the code from Step 1 and Step 2 (you’ll paste this into Carrd next)

Example:

Step 1:

<script src="https://io.dropinblog.com/embedjs/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.js"></script>

Step 2:

<div id="dib-posts"></div>

Step 3: Paste the Code into Carrd

Back in Carrd:

1. Click on your new Embed element

2. Make sure the Type is set to Code

3. Paste both lines of code into the Code field and click Done

⚠️ Common Mistake: Don’t forget to paste both the script and the <div> tag – your blog won’t render without both.

Step 4: Connect Your Carrd URL to DropInBlog

1. Return to DropInBlog → Settings

2. Under Blog URL, paste your Carrd site URL

   • If using a Section (e.g., #blog), include it: https://yoursite.carrd.co/#blog

3. Click Save All Changes

💡 SEO Tip: If your blog is inside a section, clear the “Default Title” in DropInBlog’s SEO settings to avoid duplicate meta titles.

Step 5: Publish and Preview

1. In Carrd, click the 💾 Save icon

2. Click Publish Changes

3. Visit your site and scroll to your blog – your posts should load automatically!

Pros and Cons of Blogging on Carrd with DropInBlog

SEO Friendly: ✔
Design Match: ✔
Maintenance Level: Low

Option 2: Add a Blog Section or Carrd Template

Best for: Simple landing pages or personal sites with no SEO requirements.

If you only need a basic blog layout and don’t care about SEO or scaling, you can simulate a blog directly inside Carrd using a template or section.

Some creators use the Mini Blog template or create a new #blog section with multiple containers to mimic individual blog posts. While this isn’t a “real” blog, it’s fast and keeps everything inside Carrd.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Go to Carrd Templates and search for a template like “Mini Blog” or “Starter Blog.”

2. Add or duplicate containers for each blog entry.

3. Update each entry manually (title, date, body text).

4. Use anchor links in your nav to point to each post (#post1, #post2, etc.).

5. Optionally, add a link block at the top like a “table of contents.”

⚠️ Note: All content is on one page. There’s no indexing or post URLs.

Pros and Cons of Using a Carrd Section or Template

SEO Friendly: ✗
Design Match: ✔
Maintenance Level: Low

Option 3: Use Subfolder Blogging Tools (e.g., Feather)

Best for: Users with a custom domain who want /blog URLs and SEO benefits.

If you want a full blog under yourdomain.com/blog and care about SEO, but still want something easier than WordPress, subfolder blogging tools are a good middle ground.

Platforms like Feather let you host a blog separately from Carrd – but under the same domain. It’s not embedded visually in Carrd, but it’s structurally part of your site.

How it works:

1. Sign up for a subfolder blogging tool (e.g., Feather)

2. Create your blog and choose a layout or theme

3. Connect your Carrd custom domain to their platform

   • You’ll usually need to update DNS records

   • This allows your blog to live at yourdomain.com/blog

4. In your Carrd site, add a Button or nav link pointing to /blog

Pros and Cons of Using a Subfolder Blog

SEO Friendly: ✔
Design Match: ✗
Maintenance Level: Medium

Option 4: Embed an External Blog via iFrame

Best for: Showcasing an existing blog with zero effort (not for SEO use cases).

If you already have a blog hosted elsewhere – on Medium, Ghost, WordPress, or Webflow – and just want it to appear inside your Carrd page, you can embed it with an iframe.

This is a quick fix that looks integrated to visitors, but doesn’t actually load the content into Carrd (and Google can’t read it).

How it works:

1. Find the public blog URL you want to embed (e.g., https://yourblog.medium.com)

2. In Carrd, add a new Embed element

3. Set the Type to Code

4. Paste the following code (adjust the URL and height as needed):

<iframe src="https://yourblog.medium.com" width="100%" height="800" frameborder="0"></iframe>

5. Click Done and Publish to go live

Pros and Cons of Embedding a Blog with iframe

SEO Friendly: ✗
Design Match: ✗
Maintenance Level: Low

Option 5: Link to a Blog on a Subdomain (e.g., WordPress, Ghost)

Best for: Teams or power users who already run a full-featured blog platform.

If you want full CMS functionality but still use Carrd as your homepage or landing page, linking to a blog on a subdomain like blog.yoursite.com is a common choice.

This splits your site into two parts – Carrd handles the main content, while WordPress or Ghost powers the blog.

How it works:

1. Set up your blog on a platform like WordPress or Ghost

2. Set up a subdomain like blog.yoursite.com through your domain registrar (you’ll need to update DNS records)

3. In Carrd, add a Button, nav link, or callout that links to the blog

4. Style the link and placement to visually align with your Carrd layout

5. Keep content updates and SEO management within your external blog platform

Pros and Cons of Linking to a Subdomain Blog

SEO Friendly: ✔
Design Match: ✗
Maintenance Level: High
