How to post

For anyone not sure on how to make posts, here's a handy how-to.
When you first login, press "New Post" on the left hand side to create a new post.












Give the post a title in the "Title" text box, and add text in the large bottom area as desired.
Place your mouse cursor over all the options underneath the title box to see what you can do. To add an image to a post, click the image that says "Add image" when you mouse over it.
You can also change your font, bold and italicize your text as well as change the font color.
There's even a spell checker. If you've ever used Microsoft Word or anything similar, you should instantly grasp what the icons are for.

At the bottom of the box you can put a label on the post to organize it into a genre of your choosing (though I never do this). To publish the post to the website, just click the "Publish Post" icon on the bottom left.

If you want to get really advanced, you can add posts via the "Edit Html" tab, which allows MANY more options, but you have no helpful icons, and everything must be written in the HTML coding language. I suspect no one will use that option, but it's there if you want to use it.
