WP: Basic Blog Entry Tips

WordPress Logo

It is easy to upload content to a short Page or Post in WordPress (WP). Basic articles often contain a Photo, Text and a Subtitle… by using Image, Paragraph and Heading “blocks”, which are WP modules by which you can build out your Page or Post.

Here are some tips on how to build a basic Page or Post in WordPress.Com:

  • Login to your Dashboard and click on “New Post” or “New Page”
  • Title your Page or Post article
  • Select an image to use within the article, uploading it from your PC or the Pexels free library within WP.COM
  • Size the image by collapsing the circle “handles” around the Image Block.
  • Select a Heading Block by searching for blocks via the upper left “+” or on “+” below the image
  • Type in your Heading text, adjusting the block “H” settings for desired size text, and then moving it with the up arrow (“^”) to just below the Title and above the Image.
  • Select your next Paragraph Block (just hitting return within the article normally offers it up by default), and type your text – using the tiny block editor to Bold, Italics any text.
  • Adjust the display of your Image by clicking “Align Left” in the tiny editor.

VOILA!…your text now wraps around the Image, and you have your first article – click Save Draft, and Publish (now, or schedule later) to your site or blog!
