Write Your Own Entry!!

Hello,

Newly contributors of XTC Blog. Here are some tips on how to write a blog entry for those who are new to wordpress.com.

When you first received an invite, you are asked to create an username. Once that is done and you are logged on, you could go to extasy.wordpress.com.

Now, you will see a dark blue panel on top of the site. There, you can click on a text “My Dashboard, ” which will take you to the dashboard itself.

Now when you are at My Dashboard, you will see several tabs. Dashboard tab lets you see latest activities and blog stats. When you want to write something, please click on “Write” tab.

Once you are in “Write” Tab, You will see a board where you can write your blog.

Quick overview of the board. (Follow my hand-written numbering on the screenshot)

1) This is where you write your title of a blog entry

2) This is where you put your content

3) This is where you can add a tag, such as picnic, so and so’s name, to make search easier.

4) This is where you could save an entry before you publish it or send in for review. Now, I know “Review” sounds odd, but that’s how the program is set to publish an entry when a contributor is writing stuff. I will find out what I need to do to get this off the hook.

On the right side of the screen, you will see that you can select categories, such as XTC profile, or outing… Whichever the entry belongs to, you can check it.

So.

That was a basic guide on how to add an entry for newbie bloggers. Thanks for your patience and I look forward to your contribution.

Cheers!!
