Writing and Managing Posts

Let’s begin by creating your first test post. Click the Post button and start by filling in the title. Then, write a short test message in the post window. Since this is just a test, feel free to write anything you like. When you’re finished, click PUBLISH below the post entry window.

Now that you’ve tried writing a post, you can view it by clicking View Site at the top of the screen.
