Using the Text Editor

Once you have a new post open, you can directly type your content into the text editor. Copying and pasting text from your desktop is also an option.

There are two different screens that you can use to edit your blog post:

  • Simple Editor: The simple editor gives you all the basic tools for uploading a post to your blog. It allows you to create lists, format text, and add hyperlinks (See Arrow 4).

  • Expert Editor: The expert editor gives you more options for customizing your post (See Arrow 5). For example, you can use tags to add additional formatting or spell check your work. The available tags are the main difference between the screens (See Arrow 6).

Additional Post Details

After writing your post, you can choose what category it displays under, who can see it, and whether or not others can comment.

Here’s a breakdown of the different options:

How to add a new Post

  • Properties: You may set specific properties for the post, such as publishing as a "Featured post", hide teaser when displaying –more, date of the post, order and owner (See Arrow 8). This section includes a pop-up calendar to make easier the date picking.
How to add a new Post
