I am assuming you succeded in installing the basic WP-site.
Go into the dashboard:
example: ‘http://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin’
Enter the username and password you entered at the installation.

Open any ‘post’:
- Dashbord > All Posts > click a post you made or ‘hello world!’-post’
- This post opens in the
Edit Post screen.
- To add text: Type / paste text into the box, like you would with any CMS / Document.
- To add an image:
Press the ‘add media’-button [below the post-title-field]
- The ínsert media-screen opens
- [if you see the image you want to add to the post]
Click ‘Upload Files’ [top left]
- ‘Drag and Drop’ image files from your PC onto the screen that opens; OR click the ‘select files’-button, select the folder and files you’d like to upload to the media-library
- The ‘Insert Media’-screen opens again
- Click the image you want to add to the post. A ‘tick’ shows in the corner of the image
- In the sidebar to the right:
> select the size for your image and how you’d like to align the image
- When done: Press ‘Insert Image into Post’-button
- Your ‘Edit Post’-screen re-appears.
- Happy? Update the post [button]
- More editing? Click image > click ‘landscape-icon’ and edit the image.
- Save changes
- Update the post
- Check the result in your browser
You can also add a Gallery to your post/page using the Add Media button right above the editing box. When you click on the button there’s a menu item “Create Gallery” on the left that you can use to select the images you want and how you would like them displayed.
Note: you will first have to upload whatever “clip art” or photos you would like to use. That’s done using the Media menu that is listed on the left, and then selecting “Add New”. You can either select files from your computer or simply drag and drop them to the upload area. Once they are in your media library, you can use them most anywhere on your site.
Keep asking if you have more questions!!!
