2. Enter the admin Username and Password.

   

Adding a New Post

1. On the left, you will see a menu with options for Posts. Click Add New.

   

2. This is the interface used to compose the post. HTML code can be inserted. Media files can also be added.

   

   This works similar to most word processing programs. It allows to bold, italicize, set alignment, add links, etc. To insert images click Add Media. Once you have uploaded the image you can place it where you want in the post.

   Comments are not able to be disabled from in here by default. What theme and/or plugin you install will give that option.

3. Selecting the Category that you would like to have it associated with will help with organizing.

   

4. Adding Tags will help with searching for the article and relating other articles.
5. When the post has been composed, click the Publish button.

   

Your WordPress post has now been published.
