Info

Creating a WordPress Post To get started creating your first WordPress post, locate the Posts menu in the left-hand side of the WordPress dashboard. You can either hover over the Posts link or click to expand it to reveal the submenu. Watch the video: Creating a WordPress Post 39
The Add New Posts page can also be found from the + New link in the WordPress Admin Bar. Click the Add New link. Now you’ll see the Add New Post page where you can create your first post. The first box is where you’ll want to enter the title of your post. Next is the post formatting section or post editor. This is where you’ll actually type the content of your post. If you look on the right side of the box, you’ll see two tabs. There are two modes of editing posts: Visual and Text. The Visual tab will bring up the visual WYSIWYG editor. WYSIWYG just means “what you see is what you get.” Here you’ll see a formatting toolbar with lots of options for formatting your posts. If you’re familiar with Microsoft Word or any other word processing software, most of these icons should look familiar. If you click the Text tab, this will reveal a plain-text HTML version of the post editor. This version of the post editor is for editing the HTML code of your post. For most users, the Visual editor is the easiest way to write posts. 40
