    Could someone please help, I am a new user and frankly the jargon related to wordpress is like a foreign language.

    I need to learn how to import an article from another site onto my WP site.

    Specifically, I want to republish an article from http://www.populararticles.com On that site it says to simply copy and paste my chosen article to my blog.

    It is at this point I am lost.

    I have gone into tools then import on my WP dashboard where it shows seven catagories such as Blogger,Blogroll, ect: to install.

    Please help me understand how to simply import an article into my WP site.

    Thank You very much

    The copy and paste thing is just that--in WordPress Add a new post, then when you get to the post content, select, copy, and then paste, the text from that other site.

    Thanks Michael,
    I have copied and pasted the article I want to republish into the add post window.
    Please advise on how to complete the action so the article shows up on my site.

    Regards,

    Bill

    Michael,

    I now see how to publish the article on my site, The problem now is that when I preview the article (Have not yet published it) there is weird symbols mixed in with the text.

    I am not sure if these symbols will dissapear when I publish the article.

    Would you be willing to take a look on my WP site and advise.

    Thankls,

    Bill

    When adding a new post, click on the HTML tab then paste that text/html there.
