To get started creating your first WordPress blog post, locate the Blog menu in the left-hand. Click the Add New Blog Post link. Now you’ll see the Add New Blog Post page where you can create your first post.

The first box is where you’ll want to enter the title of your post.

Next is the post editor. This is where you’ll actually type the content of your post.

If you look on the right side of the box, you’ll see two tabs. There are two modes of editing posts: Visual and Text.

At the top of the right column on this screen you’ll see the Publish box. Here, your can save your blog post as a draft if you’d like to save it for later. If you click the Preview button, you can get a preview of how the blog post will look once it’s published.
