WRITING and SAVING YOUR BLOG

WRITING YOUR FIRST POST


To create your first post, click on the „Visit Site‟ link button at the top of the Dashboard to
view your current page and you will notice that WordPress has automatically created
your first blog entitled “Hello World!”

To delete this post from public view, and begin to post your own blog, click on the „Edit‟
link under the “Hello World” post and you will be able to manage and edit the post by
deleting the current title and post and begin writing your first blog. Upon completion, click
on the „Save‟ tab to the right, and your first post will then be posted.

WRITING FOLLOWING BLOGS

WordPress 6
After posting your first blog, you can write following blogs by clicking on the „Write‟ tab in
the Dashboard and follow the instructions that were given when creating your first post,
including giving your post a title and a body.

At any time when you are writing your post, you can always stop and save your work
before you publish it by clicking on the „Save‟ tab on the right of the screen. You will then
see that your work has remained unpublished, but has been saved for future editing. But
when you are ready to publish your post, click on the „Publish‟ tab on the right and that
will enable your blog to be seen by the public, unless you desire to keep your post
private. In order to do that, click the „Keep this post private‟ check box.

MAKING PAGES
Making pages in WordPress is similar to writing a post, but pages are for content such
as “About Me,” “Contact Me.” Ect. To create a page, open the „Write‟ tab from the
Dashboard and then choose the „Page‟ sub tab.

CREATING CATEGORIES and TAGS
Adding categories and tags to posts and pages is completely optional.

CREATING CATEGORIES
Categories allow the broad grouping of posts topics when you want to describe a
post. But when you want to describe a post in more specific terms, you would have
to use or add more categories, or you can start adding tags.

To add categories that pertains to your post, scroll down on the „Write Post‟ page
and click the „Add New Category‟ link under the „Categories‟ section which will then
introduce a type and drop down box, along with an „Add‟ button. From there, start
introducing categories for your post. For example, if you were writing a post entitled
“Our Thanksgiving Dinner,” you may file it under the „Dinner‟ category.

ADDING TAGS

Tags are similar to categories, but instead of a list of words to choose from, you write
them in a list (separated by commas) in a text box below your post. They are free
form words and generally describe your post in more detail. For example, like stated
earlier, if your post was title “Our Thanksgiving dinner,” and you put it under the
„Dinner‟ category, you could have tags like, „turkey, mashed potatoes, family,
stuffing‟.
