How to Write and Format Your First WordPress.com Blog



  • Enter your blog title it in the Title text box,


    You can make the name snappy and fun if you want, but don’t be cryptic. Use titles that give your readers a basic idea of what they’re about to read in the posts. No set of hard-and-fast rules exists when it comes to creating titles for your blog posts, of course. Have fun with your title, and let it reflect your personality and style of writing.




  • Write the content of your post in the Post text box.


    The area in which you write your post is in Visual Editing mode, as indicated by the Visual tab that appears above the text.




  • Format your text.


    Visual Editing mode is how WordPress provides WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) options for formatting. Rather than have to embed HTML code within your post, you can simply type your post, highlight the text you’d like to format, and click the buttons that appear above the box in which you type your post.


    If you’ve ever used a word processing program such as Microsoft Word, you’ll recognize many of these buttons:

  • If you’d rather embed your own HTML and skip the Visual Editor, click the HTML tab that appears to the right of the Visual tab above the Post text box. If you type HTML in your post — using a table or embedding video files, for example — you have to click the HTML tab before you insert that code.
