Create Your First Post
In order to create your first blog post, you have to log into your Dashboard.To create a post navigate to Posts > Add New in your dashboard. You will find the editor, where you can add your post.

Post text editor
You can add text by typing it into the box, include media files with the ‘Add Media’ button. There are plenty of formatting options, and you can even write HTML code by selecting the ‘Text tab’ (instead of the Visual tab). When scrolling down, you will see a box on the right-hand side labelled ‘Featured Image’, where you can upload an image that will be used as the header for this post. Near the top of the screen, there is a button called ‘Publish’ where you will have to save your post. There are a few options available (like on pages). You can save your post as a draft to work on it later, or when you click the Publish button, it will save and show your post online. You can also preview your post before to publish it.

Post Management

If you check off several posts, you can delete them all at once by choosing the corresponding action from the Bulk Actions drop-down menu as shown in this screenshot.
