If your site has a &#8220;members only&#8221; feature and this is a private\u00a0post, then you need to place a check in the \u201cOnly accessible by members\u201d box. \u00a0if you want it to be public, leave the box unchecked. While you are composing your message, you may want to click on the \u201cKitchen Sink\u201d icon (2, also called \u201cToolbar toggle\u201d), which opens a second line of \u00a0message formatting tools. You compose your message in the visual composer text area (3). At any time you want to insert a message, you may click the &#8220;Add Media&#8221; button above the toolbar. Before you publish your post or even save it as a draft (4) you should select which category to file the story under (5). Generally, this should only be one category. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netpresence.us\/web\/wordpress\/wordpress-terminology-primer\/\">See the document<\/a> that differentiates between\u00a0tags and categories. You may enter as many tags (keywords) as you like (6). For some themes, selecting (and placing) a &#8220;Featured Image&#8221; (7) may be critical to proper display.<\/p>\n<p>After you have selected the category and are happy with what you have entered into the post, then clicking on \u201cPublish\u201d publishes your story in the Web site. Creating a page is done the same way, except that pages are not grouped into categories. Instead, they are organized into families of parents and children. Most user levels do not have sufficient privileges to create or edit pages.<\/p>\n<p>For help in adding photos to your post, see\u00a0the page on\u00a0adding photos to your post.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresence.us\/web\/wordpress\/visual-editor\/\">\u00ab\u2014\u00a0Visual Editor<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.netpresence.us\/web\/add-photos-to-posts\/\">Add photos to posts \u2014\u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This page is intended to offer just a few \u201cquick start\u201d tips for working comfortably in the WordPress environment.
