Writing on the blog

To write a “Post” on the blog you have to click the Posting tag and you'll get in the "Create" area. You will see the following screen:


Click on “Compose” and in the textarea provided write your text or paste it from a word-processor.

Before you post, note that clicking "Preview" allows you to see what it's going to look like when you do post.If you're using "compose" mode, hit your return key twice to get a space between each paragraph.

Notice that when you paste text in on Blogger, you may get formatting that you don't want (wrong text size, line breaks in the wrong place, etc). You can remove unwanted formatting by (1) selecting the section you want to remove it from, and then (2) clicking the last button to the right in "compose" mode -- the one that looks like a rubber. If you roll-over it you'll see that it says "remove formatting from the selection".

You might then have to put a few line breaks back in, but it's the fastest way to clean things up.

Apart from that clean-up facility, note that you've also got a spellchecker (third from the right) -- and, again, don't forget that you can "Save as Draft"(blue button), rather than "Publish Post"(orange button).

So, let’s start writing….!!

Good luck with it!
