Get to know your Dashboard

Your Dashboard is where everything you need to do to write a post is located. A couple of things I want to mention:Underneath Title, where it says Post, are two tabs, Visual, and Code. You are mostly going to want to use Visual, which is also known as WYSIWYG, or What You See Is What You Get. What you put in the post area is exactly what will show up on your blog. You will only occasionally need to use the Code tab if there is a specific piece of code you want in the post.

QuickPress and Other Handy Post Options

by Heather

As you may have noticed, there’s a brand new way to post on your dashboard: QuickPress! There are also lots of other tools to help you write and edit drafts and published posts.

QuickPress lets you post the basics straight from your dashboard, without navigating to the Posts menu. The essentials are all there: title, text, tags, and the media toolbar, which lets you add images, videos, music, documents, and polls.
