5.1 How to write a post

Go to the left menu and click on “Posts”. (Click the image below to see a larger version.)

You will see there is already a post there titled “Hello world!” This is a default post on every new WordPress blog, and we don’t need it. To delete it click “Trash” just under the post.

To begin writing a new post, click the “Add New” link (found in either the left menu or next to the word “Posts”).

You should now be on the post creator screen. You can enter the title of your post in the top box and then begin writing your post in the lower box.

If you would like to add a picture to your post, click on the “Add Media” button and click “Select Files” to upload a picture from your computer. You can make adjustments to the picture size and alignment on the next screen. When you are all set click “Insert into post” to add the picture.

Once you have finished your post just click the “Publish” button on the right side of the screen to publish it.

Publishing Your Blog

Even after you have written a post your blog may still be showing a “Coming Soon” page like this:

When you are ready to remove that page, you can do so by logging-in to your blog and clicking the link near the top.
