1.    The first field you need to fill in is the post title.

2.    Then use the visual editor to enter the content for your post. By default, the first block is a paragraph block. This allows users to start writing right away.

4.    When you are happy with your post, click on the Preview button found at the top right corner of the Publish module on the right hand side of the post. This will give you a preview of how your post will look on your website.

Adding or Editing Posts functions much the same as Pages; however, there is some additional information you need to enter.

1.    You will also need to assign the post to a category which will affect where and when the post appears on the website.

2.    On the right-hand side, underneath the Categories module, you can add Tags to your post. Tags are keywords that visitors may use to search for related articles. For example, adding the tag "wedding" to a catering article and a photography article may help your visitors find related content on your website.

3.    There is also an option to add a Featured Image to your post.

You can preview and edit posts in the same way as you do for pages. When you want to publish or save your changes, click on the Publish or Update button.
