# Publish in ten minutes

> Sign in, draw something, publish it. The whole loop once, from account to live page.

One complete pass through Blueprintr, from registration to a published page.

Walk it as slides first. Five screens, with the control under discussion
ringed on each:

![blueprint:josh/publishing-your-first-blueprint](https://blueprintr.io/embed/josh/publishing-your-first-blueprint?exclude=cmtp5f2me0002cp57fc6rmk9m&hideTabBar=1#h=620)

Then the same loop in writing:

> [!STEPS]
>
> === Sign in and finish your profile
>
> Register at [blueprintr.io](https://blueprintr.io/register) or sign in with
> an existing account. New accounts are sent to **Complete your profile**
> first: a handle and a few interests. The handle becomes the first segment
> of every URL you publish, so pick one you can live with.
>
> === Start a blueprint
>
> From the dashboard, choose **Create blueprint**. You land in step 1,
> **Content**.
>
> === Give it a title and draw
>
> Type a title, then draw on the canvas. The first tab of a blueprint must be
> a diagram. Vellum is the default editor; [other engines](/foliums/blueprintr-user-guide/vellum/draw-io-excalidraw-and-mermaid) are available from
> the engine menu.
>
> === Attach detail to a shape
>
> Right-click any shape and choose **Add Stratum…**, then write a couple of
> sentences. Do it on the first pass rather than saving it for later.
>
> === Move to Resources & Strata
>
> Step 2 collects everything alongside the diagram: strata, further diagrams,
> and uploads. It can be skipped entirely on a first blueprint.
>
> === Publish
>
> Step 3 is **Publish**: tags, visibility, and pre-flight checks. Choose
> **Public** if you want a shareable link, **Private** to keep it to yourself.
> Fix anything the pre-flight flags, then publish.

Your blueprint is now at `blueprintr.io/<your-handle>/<slug>`.

## What to do next

> [!TILES 3]

>
> The layered-detail model in full.
>
