Editing a Blog Post
Choosing a Blog Post
You can edit a Blog Post and add, remove, or change content from the Blog Posts section of your dashboard. Choose Posts > All Posts to see the list of Blog Posts.
Choose the Blog Post you want to edit and click "Edit".
The Post Editor
The Post editor allows you to enter and edit content on the Blog Post. There are two tabs on the Blog Post editor: Visual and Text. The Visual tab lets you enter content in a WYSWYG (What You See is What You Get, or "Whizzy-Wig") format, similar to a word-processing program like Microsoft Word. The Text tab is for entering code, like an html or javascript snippet form a third party provider. Unless you are entering code or are familiar with the HTML language, you should almost always use the Visual tab to enter content.
The Visual Editor Toolbar
The toolbar at the top of the visual editor allows you to choose the type of content you wish to enter and to modify text.
Each Icon does the following:
Makes the selected text bold.
Makes the selected text italicized.
Adds a strikethrough effect to selected text.
Create a bulleted list.
Create a numbered list.
Makes selected text a Block Quote (may have no effect, depending on theme).
Adds a horizontal line across the Blog Post.
Aligns a paragraph or an image to the left side of the Blog Post.
Aligns a paragraph or an image to the center of the Blog Post.
Aligns a paragraph or an image to the right side of the Blog Post.
Inserts or edits a link.
To insert a link, select the text you wish to make a link, then click the Insert/edit link button. Enter the URL of the Blog Post or file you wish to link to, enter a title (optional), and check the "Open link in a new window/tab" box if you want the link to open in a new tab or window. Optionally, you can link to a Blog Post, community, or subdivision from your own site. Click the Add Link button to create the link.
