How to add a new blog post in WordPress?

To add a new blog post in WordPress, follow these steps:

Log in to Your WordPress Dashboard:
– Visit `yourwebsite.com/wp-admin` and log in with your credentials.

Navigate to the Posts Section:
– In the left-hand menu, click onPosts. This will take you to the Posts page, where you can see all your published and draft posts.

Add a New Post:
– Click theAdd New button at the top of the Posts page, or you can also click onAdd New directly under the Posts menu.

Enter the Title and Content:
– In the editor, enter the title of your post in the title field.
– Below the title field, you’ll find the content editor where you can write your post. WordPress uses the block editor (Gutenberg) by default, which allows you to add different types of content (text, images, videos, etc.) using blocks.

Format Your Post:
– You can add headings, images, quotes, lists, and more by adding different blocks using the “+” icon in the editor.
– Each block can be customized with specific options that appear when the block is selected.

Set the Featured Image:
– In the right-hand sidebar, find theFeatured Image section. ClickSet featured image to upload or select an image that represents your post.

Assign Categories and Tags:
– In the sidebar, you can assign categories and tags to your post. Categories help organize your content, and tags are used for more specific topics covered in the post.

Publish Your Post:
– When you’re ready to publish your post, click thePublish button at the top right of the editor. If you want to save your post as a draft and come back to it later, clickSave Draft instead.
– You can also schedule the post for a future date by clicking on the “Immediately” text next to Publish, setting the desired date and time, and then clickingSchedule.

View the Published Post:
– Once published, you can view your post by clickingView Post at the top of the editor or by going to your site’s blog page.

That’s it! Your new blog post is now live on your WordPress site.
