Creating your content

Writing your first blog post is as easy as using a word processing program like Microsoft Word. The post editor has similar functions with icons that are simple to use. Inserting pictures and video is easy too. You can add lables to the blog posts to organize the posts by subject, schedule the posts to be published at a later date, tag your post with your location and control other options as well.

To write your first post, simply click on "post" from your dashboard. (you can also post from your mobile phone and email, but that will be covered later)

When you click on "post", you will be directed to a screen like this

You can compose your post in WYSIWYG or HTML.
Changing the font style, color, size and emphasis can be done using the icons in the top menu bar.  You can also highlight, strike thru and add hyperlinks.

Hovering over each icon gives the description of its function.

Adding images and is as easy as point and click. You can upload from your hard drive, select images previously uploaded, use images on Picasa or from a URL.

If you have Youtube videos or videos on your hard drive, they can be added to your post as well.
