Posting on your blog

The central activity you'll be doing with your blog is adding posts. A post is like an article in a magazine; it needs a title, content, and an author (in this case, you, though WordPress allows multiple authors to contribute to a blog). A blog post also has a lot of other information attached to it, such as a date, excerpt, tags, and categories. In this section, you will learn how to create a new post, and what kind of information to attach to it.
