2. Click on the tab under Dashboard that says “Posts”.
3. Then, click on “Add New”.
4. Below “Add New Post” there is a blank that says “Enter Title Here”, this is where you can add a title to your blog post.
5. The blank box below the blog title is the blog content, so start typing! There is a word count on the bottom left.
6. The box that says “Paragraph” allows you to edit the size and style of the text. For example, Heading 3 is good to use for headings or sub headings.
7. The “Visual” tab shows you the appearance of the content, the “Text” tab is the HTML format.
8. The “add media” link lets you insert a photo or audio wrapping around the text.
