2. Add Content Using Blocks:

  • Below the title, you’ll see a large area where you can start adding content. WordPress uses blocks to structure your content, which means each piece of content (text, image, video, etc.) is a separate block. 
  • To add content, click the + button that appears when you hover over the area. This will open a block menu where you can select the type of content you want to add (e.g., Paragraph, Image, Heading, List, Quote, Video, etc.)

WordPress uses blocks to structure your content, which means each piece of content (text, image, video, etc.) is a separate block. To add content, click the + button that appears when you hover over the area. This will open a block menu where you can select the type of content you want to add (e.g., Paragraph, Image, Heading, List, Quote, Video, etc.). Add Text (Paragraph Block):

  • After selecting Paragraph, simply type your text into the block. You can use the formatting options (bold, italic, etc.) to style your content.
  • To add a new paragraph, press Enter to start a new block. 

4. Add Images or Media (Image Block):

  • To insert an image, click the + icon, then select the Image block.

  • You can add list items by typing each item and pressing Enter to move to the next line

6. Preview Your Post:

  • To see how your post will look before publishing, click the Preview button at the top right of the screen. This will open your post in a new tab, so you can review how it appears to visitors.

  • Once you’re happy with your post, you can either save it as a draft or publish it immediately.
