Things You'll Need:
- Free WordPress blog account access and web access
-
Step 1
Go to Wordpress.com to sign up for a free blog if you have not created one yet. If you have an existing blog, get the login and password information from your email. If you did not create the blog, get the access information from the person who created the blog.
-
Step 2
Go to your blog admin dashboard area. Access it by typing in the blog address followed by “/wp-admin”. For example, if your blog was located at “myblog.com,” then you would type “myblog.com/wp-admin” in the address bar to get to the dashboard.
-
Step 3
Click on the “Write a New Post” button located on the first page of your dashboard. Alternatively, you could click on “Write” and then “Post.”
-
Step 4
Type in the Title and the complete post text where indicated. Edit the post by adding pictures and links where they are helpful. You may format the blog text with features such as bullet points, quotes, and bold or italic text. Access those features from the toolbar located above the textbox titled “Post.”
-
Step 5
Type in tags separated with commas, which are used as keywords to improve traffic. Check off the related categories or add new categories. Click on the “Publish” button to create a blog post immediately or click “Save” to save a draft to publish later. You can edit the post at any time.
