The dashboard
The dashboard lives at app.bloggram.lol. You sign in with Telegram, as described in Getting started. The page header has a Sign out button.
Your blogs
The front screen lists your blogs with their address and the state of the history import: no import, import queued, importing, imported or import failed. A blog whose bot was removed from the channel is marked "bot removed from the channel". Below the list is a Connect a channel section with the steps and a link that opens Telegram's channel picker.
At the bottom, Delete account deletes your account and every blog you own. You confirm by typing delete. The bot leaves the channels of those blogs. See Privacy for what is deleted and what is kept.
One blog
Select a blog to open its page. At the top there is a See your blog link, which opens the blog in a new tab, and a short list of the page's sections so you can jump to one. While a blog is new, a line also shows what it still needs to be offered to search engines. See Search engines.

Appearance, logo, navigation and visibility
These four sections change how the blog looks: the link color, the font and the home page layout, the logo, the About page, links and tag menu, and the switches for dates, view counts and the footer credit. Customizing your blog explains each one.
Posts
All the blog's posts, newest first, each with Edit and Hide or Show next to it. Posts you edited in the dashboard are marked "edited here". Pin to top puts a post at the top of the home page, and the current pin is shown above the list with its Unpin button. See Edits and deletions and Pinned post.
Danger zone
For public channels, the Import the history again button reads the channel's public preview again. Use it if the first import failed or you published posts while the bot was away. Posts you edited in the dashboard are not overwritten.
The Check for deleted posts now button runs the deletion check right away. You only see it while the bot is connected.
Delete blog removes the blog, its posts and its photos from Bloggram. Your channel stays as it is. You confirm by typing the blog's address. Afterwards the bot leaves the channel. To publish the channel again, add the bot again as described in Reconnecting.
Edit post
The edit screen has a title and a text field, and a Delete post section further down.
