What to do when you write that first Blog post?  

1. Write a Title – in the Title Field give your post a name.
2. Write your Post – Most blogging services use a Rich Text Editor that operates exactly like a word processor (such as Word for Windows) to enable you to type up your blog post.
3. Insert images or video – you can insert multimedia by select the button ‘Add Image’ or ‘Add Video’ (often this is a graphical button that looks like a mountain scene, but if you hover your mouse over the graphical buttons the alternative text will appear to let you know what its function is).
4. Links – add relevant links to other blogs or websites to enhance the value of your post. You can insert the full link URL address into the body of your post, or alternatively you can hide the link behind text to describe what the link is. Most blogging text editors will give you the option to create links, click on the button which looks like a link in a chain, and you will be prompted for the URL address and a title to describe the link.  
5. Categories – some blogging services offer you the ability to categorise your post, which is great if you are blogging about lots of different things, for helping your blog visitors navigate around your blog, and provides essential search engine optimisation.
6. Tags – some blogging services also offer you the ability to tag your individual blog posts. Unlike a category, which is a more broad way of identifying posts, tags can provide more detailed information about your post. For instance if you were to blog about your next exhibition then you might Categorise it as an ‘Exhibition’ and use multiple Tags to give the name of the venue, the location, the themes of the exhibition and the names of the artists involved.
7. Publish – When you have finished writing your post, click on the ‘Publish’ button to save your post and publish it to your blog.
