The Realistic Beginner’s Guide to Starting A Successful Blog [12 of 21]

As you can see, I have a series of blog posts, which means all your blog posts will also show up in that space in the future.

Usually, when you have a fresh blog, there's a sample blog post which you can edit for your next blog post. You won't see it here obviously because this is not a new blog. But don't worry, it's really easy to edit. All you've got to do is just hover your clicker over it and a row of buttons will appear. Simply click on "Edit".

Now that I've gotten your attention from the big black arrows, let's move to the next part.

Step 1: Enter your blog title in that space

Step 2: You will see an empty white space, but do click on "Visual" because it's easier for beginners to use that. Ignore "Text" and "Page Builder" for now.

Step 3: As you can see in Visual editor box, I have written some random stuff with different formatting. You can change the font formatting in the dropbox selection that currently says, "Paragraph".

The formatting for "For simplicity, you can writer here using the "Visual" editor is using "Heading 3" instead of "Paragraph".

Step 4: If you want to add a quote, simply click on the open inverted commas icon.

Step 5: If you want to insert photos in between the chunks of text, click on "Add Media".

Step 1: Head over to the left column in your dashboard, and click on "Posts" and "Categories" either on the left black navigation column.

Step 2: Add a new category name.

Step 3: Remember to click "Add New Category" at the bottom to save it.

Your created categories will appear on the right side of the page.

To edit an existing category is really easy. Do it often and you'll get the hang of it.

Step 1: Hover over an existing category.

Step 2: Click on "Quick Edit"

You'll be able to edit the category name. But also edit the "slug"! Then click on "Update Category".
