Adding a Blog Post

One of the great things about WordPress is that its interface is very consistent. So if you already know how to add/edit web pages, then this tutorial will seem like a review. There are however a few “extra” things that you need to do when adding a blog post.

To add a new blog article, click on the Posts menu in the sidebar and select “Add New.”

1. Enter your post title in the top box
2. Add the  content into the WordPress Editor
3. In the sidebar, you need to choose a category for the article to appear in.
4. You should also specify tags for your article (Make sure you check out the tutorial on Organizing your Blog with Categories & Tags)
5. If your theme uses Excerpts, you can specify a shortened version of the article in the Excerpts box.
6. Make sure you press the Publish button to save your changes and make them live!
