Short guide to get you started with the WordPress blogging
software. The basic tasks will be covered.
How to Login to your web site.
1. Go to the Admin Login screen There are two steps To login to the Word Press (WP) Administration area, follow one of these steps to login to your site. Login screen generally located at,
http://www.sitename.com/wp-login.php
Or
http://www.Sitename.com/wp-admin/
Now you know how to access to the login page of your website by placing "wp-admin" or “wp-login.php” after your domain name.
2. Enter your username and password
The login page presents two text fields: one for your username and one for your password. Enter each accordingly (note: make sure that caps lock is off, as the information is case-sensitive).
Email or username
Type Your Email or User Name Here
Password
Type Your Password in here
3. Click the Login button
After entering your login information Click button to gain
access to the site
4. Success!
If you successfuly logged in, you’ll see a page similar to this one,
After logged in go to post in the navigation menu on the left and click “add new”,

Look at the following image
This is the Add new Screen
You must enter title for your post in this field.
Put your contents in this field. (Texts, pictures, links, video clips etc.)
If you know how to work in html language, you can switch the graphical
interface to the html editor anytime! Just click the HTML tab from here
First of all, you must upload the image to the internet that you need to put in the post. You
can use your own server that’s using to run your site or you can use external server for upload
image(s),
If you choose a external server other than your own one, you may need to become a paid member
of the external hosting site. Because
- Unlimited bandwidth usage (can be a premium feature)
- No upload limits (can be a premium feature)
- Use the service for commercial purposes (can be a premium feature)
Actually most of these limitations depend on your websites bandwidth usage, so you should
discuss it with your Web Designer. Then it’s up to you to choose the proper image hosting
method for your site. And if you choose a external server the other risk is If the external
site down someday, you lost your data.
However, now I am going to show you how to upload an image to a external site and post It to
your word press web site. Most websites allow users to upload images anonymously but I
recommend you to create an account. Because it’s the only way to manage uploaded images later.
Go to imgur.com and login or create and account. Then choose your image(s) from the computer.
And start uploading. After upload completes copy the direct link from the right side
After Copy the direct Link from the right side, go back to the word press Add new Screen.

Insert into post.
