How Do I Add a Blog Post to WordPress?

Within WordPress, posts are the entries that display in reverse chronological order on your home page. In contrast to pages, posts usually have comments fields beneath them and are included in your site’s RSS feed.

To create a post, first log in to WordPress. Then, either click on the “Posts” tab at the top left or hover over it and select “Add New.” (By default, “posts” should automatically go to the blog portion of your website. If this is not the case, you can change that by following these instructions.)

Now that you’re on the Add New Post page, you can start writing your blog post. Type your title and text in the appropriate boxes (make sure the “Visual” tab is selected). From here you can format the text as you like (just like in Microsoft Word).

You can save the post as a draft, or when you’re done, click the blue “Publish” button on the right. You can edit a published post at any time—instead of “Publish,” the blue button will say “Update.”

Now there are many more options. Using the boxes on the right, you can create tags and categories if you like. You can also use the WordPress SEO tool below the text box to control how the post will show up in a search engine.

If you installed WordPress in your website’s root directory, your login page is: http://example.com/wp-login.php

If you installed WordPress in its own subdirectory, e.g., /directory, your login page is: http://example.com/directory/wp-login.php

What is WordPress?

WordPress is a content management system (CMS) that incorporates an easy-to-use user interface (UI) into website management. Clix designs websites exclusively on WordPress due to widespread support, consistent upkeep, and flexible web design options.

WordPress started in 2003 with a single bit of code to enhance the typography of everyday writing and with fewer users than you can count on your fingers and toes. Since then it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on millions of sites and seen by tens of millions of people every day.
