Blogging 104Getting Visual!

Getting the hang of the visual editor

Using the linking buttons.

Creating Links

• Highlight the text you’d like to turn into a link by left-clicking and dragging over it.

• Click the button that looks like a chain.

Creating Links

• Add the URL (web address) that you’d like your text to link to.

Creating Links

• If you decide to unlink your text, reselect it and use the second, broken chain – your link vanishes.

Editing

• If you ever decide you’d like to go back and edit your content (which might be a saved, unpublished draft or an already published post), just click on the Posts menu:

Editing

• Now you’ll see a list of all of your content. Clicking on “Edit” just under the name of a post will take you right back to the editor, where you can make changes.

Congratulations!

• You can now:– create and edit content.– Add links to your blog.– Delete posts.
