After setting up your blog, you might be wondering what to do next. Today, I’ll guide you on how to publish a blog post on WordPress.
If you’re new to blogging or WordPress, it can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but that’s totally normal! Most people are new to blogging, so there’s a lot to learn. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, you can still figure it out, just like I did.
If you haven’t started your blog yet, I suggest checking out my tutorial on How To Start A WordPress Blog. Once your website is designed, you’ll probably want to start publishing blog posts. Don’t worry, it’s simple!
Follow these easy steps to publish a blog post on your new blog:
1. **Head to your WordPress dashboard.**
After signing up, log into your WordPress account from the Bluehost cPanel Dashboard. On the left-hand side menu, find the “Posts” section.
2. **Add New.**
Click on “Add New” to create a new post.
3. **Format and write your blog post.**
WordPress makes it easy to add new “blocks” for content like headlines, paragraphs, images, videos, and graphics. Just click the small “+” on the screen.
4. **Choose your publishing options.**
After creating your content, look at the right-hand side to choose your options:
– Make your post private or public
– Create a “URL Slug” (e.g., www.yourblog.com/about-me)
– Add tags and more
5. **Preview your blog post.**
You can either publish your post or preview it. Previewing shows what the post will look like on your website.
6. **Publish your blog post.**
Once you’re happy with the preview, press “Publish.” Your post will go live on your website. You can always edit your post later in your WordPress account.
And that’s it! It’s that easy to publish your first blog post. Do you have a blog?
