Posting You Contents
Go to your account and then choose 'Posting'. There are 3 options on it; Create, Edit Post and Moderate Comments. Related to the topic, I will describe the first two since 'Moderate Comments' will take you to 'Settings' which I have described here.
Click 'Create'. This is area where you can post article to your blog.
- Write your title.
- Write you labels. You can read what labels are here.
- Write your post.
There are two types of writing mode; Compose and Edit HTML. Compose is normal mode like you write on Microsoft Words. Edit HTML is adding HTML code to your post. If you don't know HTML, this is a good place to learn HTML for beginner.
Firs choose 'Compose' and write your post.
From the picture above, let's go left-to-right. Most of them like Microsoft Words but here we go:
- Font choose your desirable font. Better leave it default so it will match your other posts except if you have words you want to highlight then you can use different fonts.
- Font Size, clear enough, same as description on Font.
- Bold Font, this is to bold your words. Use ctrl+b as shortcut key.
- Italic, to make you font italic. Use ctrl+i as shorcut key.
- Font Color, click it and choose desirable color for your text.
- Link, this is to input URL link/link from web site.
- The next four icon is your text alignment.
- The next two icon is to make per-point line.
- Spelling Check, this is to check your language spelling. It also gives you recommended words for wrong spelled words. Same like Microsoft Words.
- Insert Image, this button is to insert image to your posts. Click it, choose image alignment and how big your image you want to show then click 'Browse'. After that click 'Upload'. If you're there for the first time, you have to fill check box for TOS with Blogger that you don't infringe copyright for image uploaded.
- Add Video, this is similar with 'Insert Image'. Just browse and upload. Since it will slower loading time for my blog, I rarely use this button.
- Remove Format, use it to remove any format you've made to your post. Select words or images first then click it.
Now you're familiar with 'Compose'. It's time to click 'Edit HTML'. If you don't know anything about HTML, you can see HTML codes for any change you made before. Voila, you've learned some basic HTML codes.
On the bottom of write area, there 'Post Option'. Click it and choose personalized comment option for the post. For sensitive post, you can choose 'Don't Allow' but it's no use. Readers can comment on your other posts about any post you made so leave it.
The other option is 'Post Date and Time'. Read about it here.
After all set, click 'Public Post'. Don't save your post as draft. It's a bad habit. If you're not finish yet, just add "to be continued" on your post. You can always edit publish post on 'Edit' menu.
