Try everything, nothing breaks

With the visitor account you get the whole admin. Write, edit, publish: nothing is kept.

Four lipsticks lined up like testers

This blog is a demo you can touch. On the sign-in page you will find a visitor account, its username and password written in plain sight. That is not a mistake: they are there for you.

What you can do

With the visitor account, you see exactly what the admin sees:

  • the list of every post, published and drafts;
  • the editor, with its shortcuts, callouts and images;
  • the publishing form: title, address, summary, topics, cover.

Change a title. Rewrite a paragraph. Add a callout. Press Publish.

What happens then

A message appears: it is a demo, nothing was saved. Your text stays on screen, so you can keep playing. But the site itself does not change. The next visitor sees exactly what you saw when you arrived.

Why it works this way

A public demo attracts all kinds of visits. If anyone could publish, the blog would be unrecognisable within the hour. The visitor account lets you take the wheel, but nobody drives off with the car.

On your own site, of course, Publish publishes.

Your turn

Try it on this post

Open this post in the editor, change a sentence, publish. Everything works, nothing is kept.

Where these articles come from

Six articles on this blog live in files. The others, like this one, come from a shared CMS. The X-ray shows which is which.

From markdown to the page

Both sources go through the same renderer. Only the moment changes: on save for one, on read for the other.

Fast today, ready for tomorrow

One read per article, nothing to run in the browser, and one CMS for several sites.

Do not type real information into the demo: no client names, no phone numbers. Nothing is kept,
but it is a good habit.
