You would like to make your contributions with WordPress create? Then this guide will help you. We offer you an informative overview of the possibilities you have with WordPress.
Create a WordPress article - different possibilities lead to the goal!
There are many blog systems on the market. One of the most popular "tools" for creating blog posts is WordPress. WordPress is a content management system that is very popular because of its excellent handling possibilities. Whether you are a beginner or a blog expert, WordPress makes creating a blog post quick and easy. A Blog post is something different than creating a page on WordPress. Both topics are treated differently. There are different ways to create a contribution on WordPress, short WP. In principle it is comparable to creating a text document with Word or similar word processing programs.
In total there are five different ways to create an article with WordPress:
- Dashboard
- Quick Press Module in the Dashboard
- via "New post" button
- via "New Post Link"
- by email
In the following we will describe some possibilities for you in more detail.
Create WordPress posts - Dashboard
The possibility to create a WordPress post via dashboard is still very popular. You first log in to the dashboard with your access data. Then select the menu item Posts or "Create article". After the selection a mask will be opened, where you can make all essential settings for the article. Furthermore, you can write and finally publish the article or contribution in the "Editor".
Create WordPress articles - Quick Press Module
If you use the Quick Press module in the dashboard, you will immediately receive a mask that allows you to structure the article or contribution into title, text and keywords. All you have to do is save your entries and the article goes online.
Create WordPress posts - new post and new post link
With the button "New post", you can also create a new article and open an editor. The button can be found directly in the administrator area (top right). If you want to link a post, you can do so via the "New post link" menu item. The menu item can be found in the admin navigation bar under "My blogs".
Create WordPress articles - by e-mail
You can also create a post on your smartphone, PC or tablet PC and email it to WordPress. All you have to do is create a unique and secret email address in the dashboard. To do this, select the menu item "My Blogs" in the Dashboard and activate the "Post by Email" service. You then have the option of creating an email address and downloading it via vCard. The secret email address is only valid for your account and not per blog. Then you can send a text from any email server (for example Hotmail, Gmail) where you have your known email address to the secret email address of WordPress and the text will be published as a blog post. It is important that you use an email server that can format rich text or HTML. Attachments such as PDF documents are displayed as links in the blog.
How should the contribution be structured?
A post should have a meaningful title in WordPress, which encourages the visitor of the page to read. It is important to generate attention and to captivate the reader with the title. Furthermore, it is important to create a category. WordPress has for this in the dashboard also the menu item "Categories". If you have created or pasted the text in the editor, you can optimize the post there. A post created with WordPress should have a minimum length of 400 words and be created or inserted in the editor without formatting. The editor will indicate the number of words at the end of the text. When the text is ready, you can optimize it with headings, paragraphs and more subheadings. Pay particular attention to good Readability. When a paragraph becomes too long, readers usually do not want to read it any further.
Visualization trumps
If you want to attract many readers to your blog and your blog post, you should rely on the power of visualization. This means that readers prefer to follow a text with images rather than a pure text form. Images are used to loosen up blog posts and the core messages of the post can be underlined with images. Besides images, videos in a blog post are also very popular. In WordPress, videos uploaded to YouTube can be embedded. The embedding is done via a code.
Editing of contributions
Once created, articles can of course still be edited in WordPress. In the dashboard you will find the category "Contributions". There you get an overview of all existing articles and only have to choose the right title. After the title selection the editing mode starts automatically. You only have to save the changes and they go online.
Conclusion
There are several ways to create a blog post with WordPress. All possibilities are simple, effective, quick to understand and allow an effective and fast publication of blog posts. Furthermore, blog posts can be changed in the dashboard as desired and go online immediately.
