A Free Blog That Starts With a Paste
No theme picker, no domain to buy, no "getting started" checklist. Paste a link, an image, or a paragraph and Textpad turns it into your first blog post - at a public URL anyone can read.
Your blog at your subdomain
Pick a username and your public posts live at yourname.textpad.cloud. Every public document also lands on a clean archive page that lists everything you've written, no theme picker, no setup.
A real subdomain, not a path on a shared site
Auto-generated archive index of all your public posts
Or bring your own domain, see below
Paste, publish, share
- Hit Cmd/Ctrl+V on this page.
- You land on your new post inside a fresh blog (your "archive").
- Edit it, add more posts, share the URL.
What lives on your blog
- Posts with rich content: images, link previews, video embeds.
- Your own archive page: a clean index of everything you've written.
- Public or private: per-post toggle, switch any time.
- A shareable URL: for the blog and for each post.
Why "paste to publish" instead of a CMS
Most free blog tools ask you to pick a template, name a site, and configure a profile before you can write a sentence. Textpad inverts that: write first, decide everything else later. Your archive grows as you use it.
