More Document Information
When I create an entry in Word, I need to realize that the first line of the entry will be the title of the entry when I paste it into WordPress.
When I’m done preparing a Word document, I need to select it and copy it.
Using WordPress.com/log-in will include a saved email address and a password.
Now into the RIGHT blog, I will click on “posts” and click on “add new post.”
That will get the document in front of me with the title (first line) in place.
IMAGES
Click below a sentence and a “+” will appear. Click on it and on “image.” Then click on “media library.” Then on the image I want and click “insert.” Into the document goes that image.
Above the image there are icons that, when clicked on, will enable me to edit the image.
“insert link” is important because if I do that, then a reader will be able to click on the picture to see it full sized.
“alignment” is important because if I leave it at “none” a large box appears to the right of the image. That box will prevent text from wrapping around the picture. I almost always want to be able to wrap text around a picture.
The arrows help me to position the picture where I want it.
There are also editing possibilities to the right. One of those possibilities is changing the size of the picture (25/50/75/100).
A brand new one for me was the “featured image” option. I clicked there, was led into the Gallery, chose a picture, and it became the Header. Of course, if the chosen picture isn’t 770 or less it will be substantially cropped. But if it is the right size then it is a quick way to bring on a new header.
(I started working on putting text on pictures but that is a work-in-progress at this point.)
