How to create a Post in WordPressThe second video in this series demonstrates how to create a new article—also called a “Post”—in WordPress, using the built-in WYSIWYG editor.

Covered in this video:

  • Understanding the difference between Posts and Pages.
  • How to create a new Post using the Posts > Add New > SubPanel.
  • Personalizing the Add New Post interface.
  • Formatting text and content using the WYSIWYG editor.
  • Pasting content from Microsoft Word into WordPress.
  • Understanding the Visual Editor and HTML (Code View) Editor modes.
  • How to save and publish Posts to your site.
