Create a New Post in Wordpress

Posted by shelley on Jan 5, 2010 in Wordpress 101 |

A post in Wordpress is a news item. Often these get pulled/teased to the front page of your site and get stored in a news archive on your site. It is most helpful to create frequent, short posts about topics of interest to your visitors as it keeps your content fresh and is quite appealing to the search engines.

Here are the steps involved in creating a new post:

1. Go to Posts / Add New
