Here are some (very) simple directions about how to add a blog post to your mytenerifeblog.com site:

After logging into your admin area for your mytenerifeblog.com site, you will be presented with a screen that looks like the one below. To add a blog post you must first of all write it, you do this by clicking on the Write button as indicated in the image below.

From here you will be presented with the simple WYSIWYG text editor shown below.

The main areas you need inorder to create your first ever blog post are labelled A, B, C & D in the image.

A: This is where you place the title of your blog post.

B: This is where you add the text that you wish to post within your blog.

C:  You add your blog to a catagory here, Wordpress by default has the catagory Uncatagorized and  unless you specify another catagory, this is where your post will be added. You can add new catagories to your blog site by typing into the text box and then clicking on the add button. Remember to make sure the correct catagory is selected for your post. You can also add your post to more than one catagory if they are relevant.

D:  Here we have 3 options, they are Save & Continue Editing, Save and Publish.

Save and continue Editing allows you to save a draft copy of the post you are making and continue editing, this is useful should you be creating a post that is particularly long. When you click save and continue editing it basically backs up what you have just written.

Save is useful for when you have completed a blog post but are not ready to publish it on your blog (we will look at this in a later post because this is particularly used in conjuction with your post timestamp and I will explain this in more detail then.)

Publish is the button you click when you are ready to publish you post on your blog site.

There you go, you are now ready to publish your first ever blog post.
