The process of entering your writing in here is easy, WordPress system is designed to be user friendly.
1. Login and it will bring you to the dashboard.
2. Click the tab for Write.
3. Start filling in the blanks.
4. When you are ready, click Publish.
That’s it. You expected more? Okay, we have more details below, but from here, you can probably figure it out for yourself.
Writing a Post – Step by Step
There is no right or wrong order to writing a post, but we’ll start from the top and give you the step-by-step details for filling in each of the blanks on the Write Post panel. [[|right|thumb|WordPress Admin Options Writing Panel]] WordPress has two post editing modes, Visual and Code. Typically, the visual mode is the default for writing new posts, but that can be changed When starting a post option in the Writing Options SubPanel of the Options Administration Panel. We will take you first through the visual post screen and then the advanced.
Drafts are posts that have been saved rather than published. If you have posts you have written and saved, thereby creating a Draft, they will be listed above the Write Post title. Click on the title link to open that posts’ Write Post edit screen, edit the post, and when you are ready, click Publish and it will be released to your site and to the world.Title
This is where you enter the title of your post. You can use any words or phrases. Avoid using the same title twice as that will cause problems. You can use commas, apostrophes, quotes, hypens/dashes, and other typical symbols in the post like “My Site – Here’s Lookin’ at You, Kid”. WordPress will clean it up for the link to the post, called the post-slug.
Quicktags
Quicktags are buttons right above the Post editing textarea box. These buttons produce HTML tags for bold, italic, image, link, lists, and more. Click on these to add their HTML tags and the tag will either be reproduced in the editing area or a window will pop-up asking you to fill in the details, and when you are done, the information will be in the editing area.
Categories
The list of categories on your site is found here. By default, the uncategorized category will be checked, unless you have already changed the name of that category. Check the categories and sub-categories the post belongs in and make sure to uncheck “uncategorized” if applicable.
Post Editing Area
The big blank box is where you enter your writing, links, links to images, and any information you want to display on your site is the Post Editing Textarea or editing box.
Discussion
The Discussion section hosts two checkbox choices. One is for Allowing Comments and the other is for Allowing Pings. If Allowing Comments is unchecked, no one can post comments to this particular post. If Allowing Pings is unchecked, no one can post pingbacks or trackbacks to this particular post.
Password-Protect Post
To keep this particular post private so that only those with the password can read it, enter a password here. Be sure and write it down somewhere safe.
Save and Continue Editing
Below the Post Editing textarea box are three buttons. The first one is Save and Continue Editing. If you would like to save the post to your database, but continue working on it, click this button. Below in the Preview screen, you will then see your post. Using this button, the post will not be published unless the Publish check box is checked below in the Post Status area.
Save
In theory, clicking the Save button will save your post. But it is a conditional save. Using the Advanced Editing screen, if the option in the Post Status is set to Draft, your post will be saved as a Draft. If set to Publish, the post will be saved and published to your site. If set to Private, the post will be saved as a private post, accessible only by you, the user/author and not the public. Once you have clicked Save, the Write Post screen will clear and you will be ready to add another post.
Publish
To publish your post to your site, click the Publish button.
