Step 1: Log in to your WordPress Dashboard To add a new blog post, you need to log in to your WordPress Dashboard. You can do this by going to your website's URL and adding /wp-admin/ to the end. This will take you to the login page. Enter your login credentials and click on the "Log In" button.
Step 2: Navigate to the Posts section Once you're logged in, you'll be taken to your WordPress Dashboard. From here, navigate to the "Posts" section by clicking on "Posts" in the left-hand menu.
Step 3: Click on "Add New" Once you're in the "Posts" section, click on the "Add New" button at the top of the page to create a new blog post.
Step 4: Add your blog post content You will now be taken to the WordPress editor, where you can add your blog post content. This includes your blog post title, content, and any images or media you want to include. You can use the editor's formatting tools to customize your post's appearance.
Step 5: Add Categories and Tags Categories and tags help organize your blog posts and make it easier for readers to find related content on your site. To add categories and tags to your post, look for the "Categories" and "Tags" sections in the right-hand sidebar of the editor. Click on "Add New Category" or "Add New Tag" to create new ones.
Step 6: Set a Featured Image A featured image is the image that appears at the top of your blog post and is used as a thumbnail when your post is shared on social media. To add a featured image, look for the "Featured Image" section in the right-hand sidebar of the editor. Click on "Set Featured Image" and choose an image from your media library or upload a new one.
Step 7: Preview and Publish your Blog Post Once you're happy with your blog post, you can preview it by clicking on the "Preview" button in the top right-hand corner of the editor. If everything looks good, click on the "Publish" button to make your post live on your site.
