Formatting WordPress Posts In this section, we’ll be covering some of the basics of formatting your WordPress posts with the built-in WordPress post editor. Watch the video: Formatting WordPress Posts 51
The majority of your formatting options can be found in the Post Editor Toolbar. If you’ve ever used a word processing software such as Microsoft Word, most of these icons should look familiar. To get started formatting your WordPress posts, visit Posts > Add New or Posts > All Posts and select the post you’d like to edit. The formatting icons included in the WordPress post editor include: • In the first row of the toolbar, we have options to bold, italicize or strikethrough text. To bold text, just select the text you’d like to format and click the bold button. You’ll see this text has been bolded. • The next two icons are for bulleted and numbered lists. If you’d like to add a list to a post, just select the text, then click that icon. • The quotation mark icon is the block quote feature. By default, this will add an indentation and italicized style to your selected text. (Note: your WordPress theme controls how block quotes are styled on the front end of your site.) • Next are alignment options. You can choose to align left, center or align right. 52
