Basic Steps to Post on a Wordpress Blog

Posted by Matt - December 7, 2006 on 11:32 am | In Blogging Software |

I thought I would post some more indepth directions on posting to a Wordpress Blog. Once you learn the steps and do it a couple of times it is really pretty easy. I am going to be approaching posting from the perspective of using the Blog Software’s own built in text editor.

Step 1: Login

You have to be logged into the Blog in order to write a post. You can click on either: Site Admin (top of the page) or Login towards the bottom of the right column:

Step 2: Enter Username/Password

Just enter your Username and Password that I sent to you.

Step 3: Click on “Write”

You next need to click on “Write” at the top of the page.

Step 4: Write Your Post

Write your Post/text and include any pictures that you want. You will automatically be in the “Write Post” section after clicking on “Write” in step 3 above.

Step 5: Select a Category

Selecting a Category is important for website visitors to be able to find your post in the future. You can select as many (or few) as you want. The category can be selected from “Category” on the right side of your screen (click on the + symbol to open or expand it):

Step 6: “Publish”

When you are done writing your post, just click on the “Publish” button and the post will be automatically added to the Blog. Thats it… your done!

Good luck with your Blogging!
