WordPress General Admin Instructions<\/h3>\n

You must first log into your WordPress website:<\/p>\n

login URL: www.yourwebsite.com\/wp-admin<\/p>\n

username: ########<\/p>\n

password: ########<\/p>\n

When you make a blog post in WordPress you should also assign a category to it. For example if you plan on writing posts about car manufacturers and Honda in particular, your categories could be 'car manufacturers' and 'Honda'.<\/p>\n

To create a blog category:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Mouse over the 'Posts' button on the left of the screen & click the down arrow that appears.<\/li>\n
  2. Click 'Categories'.<\/li>\n
  3. Enter the name of your category in the 'Name' field and click the 'Add New Category' button. If your category is a more specific version of another category, you can use the 'Parent' drop down box to set it's parent category. This is helpful for SEO and\u00a0navigation purposes.<\/li>\n
  4. You can leave the 'Slug' field blank.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To make a blog post:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Click on the 'Posts' button on the left side of the screen.<\/li>\n
    2. Click the 'Add New' button.<\/li>\n
    3. Enter content into the title field and the main content area.
      \nNOTE: <\/strong>There are two tabs on the main content field 'Visual', and 'HTML'. With the \u00a0'HTML' tab selected you're able to enter\/edit html markup in the post body. With the 'Visual' tab selected you are able to use WordPress's built in\u00a0wysiwyg<\/a> editor.<\/li>\n
    4. Put a check next to each category you think applies to your post under the 'Categories' area on the right side of the screen.<\/li>\n
    5. Enter ~6 Tags in the 'Post Tags' area field\u00a0separated\u00a0by commas then press the 'Add' button. Tags are keywords relating to the post. For example if I was writing about Honda V.S. Ford, my tags would be 'cars, ford vs honda, honda, ford, car manufacturer'. Tags are good for SEO purposes especially when you have a 'Tag Cloud' on your website.<\/li>\n
    6. Click the 'Publish' button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      NOTE: Ideally your blog posts should be around 500 words long. Mentioning the location and service details in your blog posts will help SEO.<\/p>\n

      To edit blog posts:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      1. Click 'Posts'.<\/li>\n
      2. Click the post link you want to edit.<\/li>\n
      3. Make your changes and click the 'Update' button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
