How to write a blog post - tips for new WordPress users from ideas to sharing

If you're a new or nervous WordPress blogger, this guide takes you through the process of creating a blog post from beginning to end, with tips to help you get better results more quickly. 

It's a digest of what I've learned through making blog posts in WordPress, and the processes I've arrived at. The aim is to give you the info you need - but not too much. So you can jump past the head-scratching about how you do it, and get on with doing it!

Sections:

• Gathering ideas - the main types of post and how they're different
  
• Finding your way on the WordPress post page
• Doing the writing - developing your skills and managing the process
  
• Packaging it up - images, and preparation for sharing in a way that looks good and gets attention (this section on its own can save you a lot of trial and error)
  
• Sharing your post - email list, search engines, social media.
