Now go to your Dashboard and click on Posts. At the top left, choose Add New. This will create a new temporary Post. Add a title for the post. Use upper and lower case with spaces as you normally would type something.

Now either type the text for your Post into the new Post section where it says “Start writing or type/to choose a block.” or paste from another program such as Microsoft Word.  Add any formatting such as Bolds, Italics and Links.

Now in the right sidebar menu, click the box that says Set Featured Image. Click the tab called Media Library if it is not automatically selected. Now choose the image you just uploaded which should be located at the top left. Click the blue button at bottom right called Set Featured Image.

If you would like to add images INSIDE your Post, click the little + icon inside the circle at the top left of the Post page. This brings up a menu of options you can include in your Post.

One last step….. Click the blue Publish button at the top right of the screen. Then click it AGAIN to confirm.  Your new Post is now LIVE!

If we have created a section on your homepage that contains other Posts, the new Post will be automatically added to this section.  If we have already created a News page, this Post will also be added there.
