    How do I Create a Post?

    By WaiJe Coler | January 1, 2008

    After logging in you’ll be presented with a general selection bar at the top:


    General Selection Bar

    Simply choose ‘Write’ and you’ll be presented with this screen:


    Write Post Screen

    1. These are your unpublished work. Published work can be seen by the public while your ‘drafts’ contains the posts you saved but have not allowed the public to see.
    2. The title of your post
    3. This is where you create the content of your posts. The bar below ‘Visual’ and ‘Code’ contain formatting you’re allowed to do.
    4. If you want to upload a file including images you would do so here. It’s as simple as that. ‘Browse’ and ‘Browse All’ will show the current files/images you are allowed to send to your post. More on this in ‘How do I Add Images to My Post?’
    5. You may create a new category on the fly and/or select a few other categories your post may fall under.
    6. Although autosave does exist for this blogging software, never forget to save your work and always remember to ‘Publish’ it if you’re ready for public viewing. You may also bypass the save steps and ‘Publish’ right away which would save your work and instantly make it publicaly available.
