Getting Visual!

2. Getting the hang of the
visual editor
Using the linking buttons.

3. Creating Links
• Highlight the text you’d like to turn into a link
by left-clicking and dragging over it.
• Click the button that looks like a chain.

4. Creating Links
• Add the URL
(web address)
that you’d like
your text to
link to.

5. Creating Links
• If you decide to unlink your text, reselect it
and use the second, broken chain – your link
vanishes.

6. Editing
• If you ever decide you’d like to
go back and edit your content
(which might be a saved,
unpublished draft or an
already published post), just
click on the Posts menu:

7. Editing
• Now you’ll see a list of all of your content.
Clicking on “Edit” just under the name of a
post will take you right back to the editor,
where you can make changes.

8. Congratulations!
• You can now:
– create and edit content.
– Add links to your blog.
– Delete posts.
