a. Make sure you are logged into your administration panel.

b. Click on the “Write” tab on your Administration panel. Once on the “write” page you will see two sub tabs “write post” and “write page”. You will be on the “write post” section by default.

PLEASE NOTE that a “Post” is a piece of dated content that is archived as new “posts are added and are reachable by users searching your website or browsing categories where you have assigned them. A “Page” is static content that is not dated and is always accessible from every page of your website (for example your “About us” or “Contact us” pages).

c. Since we are adding content we will use the default section of “write post” to display the content.

d. Now just fill in the blanks. For the purposes of keeping it simple just worry about filling in the following sections:

Title: This is the title of your article, report or whatever content you would like to add.

Post: This is the actual content you would like to add. You will note that there are to tabs at the top of this section, for the purposes of keeping it simple, please DO NOT select the “HTML” section. This section is a document editor with such buttons as “B” which means bold to even a “ABC” button which is a spell check option. So use these button as you would if you where typing a document on a word processor. You will also notice a picture of a tree there, this is the feature of adding a picture. We will discuss this step in the following section of the simple start, so for not just experiment with adding text for now.

PLEASE NOTE that there is also a “?” button on your document editor. If you click on this icon a pop up help box can give you more thorough information on posting content.

”Save and Continue Editing” Button: Click on this button frequently to ensure that your post is saved regularly while you are working on it.

”Save” Button: If you would like to save your document and finish later before publishing it that click on this button. When you would like to continue working on your “saved” post just return to the “Write Post” section and you will see the title of the post at the top of the page, just click on it and you will be able to resume where you left off.

”Publish” Button: Just click on this button to make your post live on your website.

PLEASE NOTE if you would like to edit or delete this post after it is live on your website just find the post on your website (make sure that you are logged into your website, then click on the “view site” link at the top left of your administration panel). Once you have found the post you will see at the bottom of the post either an “edit” link or “edit this entry” link. Just click on either of those links and you will be brought to the document in the “edit” mode. Just make the changes and save it or delete it from this screen.

Categories: This section is located to the right of your “write post” page. This section should already be expanded, but it is not the click on the “+” sign to expand it. Here is where your designate (or file) where you would like your post to be on your website. Since this is a new website their will only be the “uncategorized” category created. You will see an entry box where you can input a new category for your new post (i.e. Pictures, Fishing Trips, Restorations, Cruising Destinations, etc.). Every time you add a category and post to it will appear on every page of your website so that users can navigate to this category and view the articles posted there. If you are posting to the same category that you have already created then just check off the box next to category(s) where you would like the post to be located.

Discussion: This section is located right below the “categories” section. Click on the “+” sign to expand this option. Here you can designate whether you will allow discussion on your post or not. Just check off the comments box if you would like to allow comments.

Post Password: This section is right below the “discussion” section. Click on the “+” sign to expand this option. If you are posting information that you would like not to be public then just enter a password and once you save or publish your post it will require readers to enter this password to read the post (maybe for secret fishing reposts or destinations you would only like to share with specific people). Please keep in mind we do not guarantee the safety of any information posted on your website.
