Add New Blog Post

Navigate to the “Posts” tab in the left-hand menu and click on “Add New”

Blog Post Title & Content
  1. Start by entering a title for your post in the designated field at the top. The title should briefly summarize the content of your post.
  2. Directly below the title field, you’ll find the content area. This is where you can write or paste the main body of your post. The Text Editor uses a visual editor, similar to a word processor, allowing you to format text, add media, and more.
The Text Editor
  1. You can start by typing or pasting your content directly into the editor. The editor supports various text formatting options, similar to a word processor.
  2. Basic formatting options such as bold, italic, and underline are available in the toolbar. To apply these styles, select the text you want to format and click on the respective button in the toolbar.
  3. The toolbar also includes options for creating headings, lists (bulleted or numbered), aligning text, inserting links, and more.
  4. If you want to add media such as images or videos, you can use the “Add Media” button in the toolbar. This allows you to upload files from your computer or select from the media library.
  5. You can switch between the visual editor and the HTML editor, using the “Visual” and “Text” tabs at the top right corner of the editor. The HTML editor allows you to directly modify the underlying HTML code if needed.

Draft, Preview & Publish

  2. Preview your post before publishing it by clicking the “Preview” button. This allows you to see how your post will look on the actual website. You can make any necessary adjustments and preview again until you’re satisfied.
  3. Once you’re ready to make your post live on your website, click the “Publish” button. By default, the post will be published immediately.
