Number 3 of  7 Reasons to Use WordPress for your Blog

It is very easy to write and update your content on your blog, with WordPress. And, you don’t need to know any HTML.

If you have owned an ordinary website (by that I mean, “not a blog”), you may have to contact your webmaster every time you want it updated. Or, perhaps you did what I did, and learned HTML?

And, it might have taken you a long to learn the HTML and actually make the web page look nice.

Once WordPress is set up, it’s really easy to add new posts and new pages, and to update them. It’s easy to add images and videos to your blog posts and pages.

If you have ever used Word for Windows (or something similar), you will be able to make a nice looking post on WordPress.

For an example, look at the image below, showing the WordPress screen, when you add a New Post. See all the little buttons, below where it says Upload/Insert? Each of those buttons allows you to make a change to your text.

If you want to format your heading, type in your heading, highlight the text you just typed, then click on the “pull down arrow” where it says Paragraph (look at the 2nd row of the  buttons on the left hand side).

As shown in the image below, you will see some different headings you can select for your text.

Practise a little bit before you publish your post. There is a button you can click to “View your post” before publishing it.

Have fun! Let me know in the comments below if there’s something about WordPress you don’t understand or want to know about.
