My WordPress Tutorial

Archive for September, 2010

You (or your webmaster) has created a wonderful site that is just waiting to receive your content. But you are left wondering, just how do I add my content? After reading this post you should be able to quickly and easily add your content. While the image in this post will touch on How To Add Pages and Subpages, Virtual Siloing, and Adding Images, you may want to follow the appropriate links to read specifically about these topics.

Another thing that I feel is important is to define what I mean by ‘content’: Content (to me) is anything you place on your page. This includes text, images, music, video, etc.

Here is the how you add content (you must be logged in to your Dashboard; refer to the image below for a visual tutorial):

Dashboard>Pages

1. Locate the ‘Pages’ tab in the left hand column on your Dashboard (PURPLE).
2. Select either ‘Pages’ or ‘Add New’ depending on whether you are adding content to an existing page or adding a completely new page (PURPLE).
3. If you are adding a completely new page you will need to give your new page a title (RED). If this is a completely new page and you use a hierarchy format (parent/child or page/subpage) you will need to be certain to select the appropriate ‘Page Attributes’ (PINK).
4. Insert your content, text, images, video, etc. (GREEN) just as you would for a blog post.
5. Either hit the ‘Update’ button for edited content or ‘Publish’ button for content on a new page.

That’s it!
