Most of things to do to post your content I've already described here. Now may be you want to make it more beautiful or just for functional reasons, I will tell some style in writing posts.

You already knew bold and italic, if not, use this step:

To make bold, use ctrl+b or html code (strong). After that use ctrl+b again or (/strong) to close/back to normal.
To make italic, use ctrl+i or html code (em). Close with ctrl+i again or (/em).

Note: For actual writing, change all signs ( ) with < >. I don't use < > so you can see codes used.

One more style used often is line through. Line through used if you want to update something on your posts so your readers will know the original words of it. See this example:

...sadly, the image is not available...

And then after updated, it's going to be like this:

...sadly, the image is not available...

Update: The image is available and you can preview it.

To make line through, use html code (span style="text-decoration: line-through;") your words here (/span).

On above example I also used font color to make it more catchy, described here.

One more thing to use is block quote. It's used to quote sentences from somebody else's book/blog. This is the example:

Jim wrote:

On Friday April 18, crude oil price hit record $ 117 a barrel. This up of price is caused of an attack on oil pipeline by rebels in Nigeria, Africa's largest oil producer. Supply fears were stoked after Nigerian militants claimed Friday to have sabotaged a major oil pipeline belonging to Anglo-Dutch group Royal Dutch Shell, promising many more similar attacks.

To make block quote, use this html code (blockquote) your words here (/blockquote).

Usually, block quote will give big quote (") sign before your words but not always, depends on the blog template you are using. Quote sign is not from font but from image which is provided by your template, or not.

Remember, the main reason of these styles are for functional reasons so don't use them too often unless it's necessary and related to what you are writing.
