How To Post In WordPress

When it comes to blogging, one of the first questions people have is how to post in WordPress blogs. This is a great question, because you cannot do anything will publishing blog posts.

In order to post in WordPress, all you have to do is browse to the posts section in the left navigation bar and then select the add new post list. Another way to do this is to use the add new post link, which can be found at the top right hand side of the WordPress administration panel.

Either way, both links will take you to the add new post screen. From there, it is just a matter of writing up some awesome content and formating it. You can bold text, underline text, even make the text larger. You can also embed media like audio, video, or photos.

Once your post is typed up, all you need to do is hit the publish button and WordPress will automatically make the post go live. You should then be able to go visit your blog and see the new blog post in action.

As you can see, learning how to post in WordPress blogs is actually a lot easier than it sounds. Best of all, the built in post editor makes it super easy to format your blog posts in order to make it easy for your readers to read and engage with.
