The EssentiaList

Adding or Editing a Post

Once you have been added as an author-user, you can begin to make posts.  For instructions on using the Word Press software for our blog, please refer to pdf file : Add/Edit Post Intructions (pdf file, with screen shots).

NOTE:  The screen shots are a bit fuzzy after the blog software compressed the file. If you cannot read them, contact Cat(at)essentialstuff(dot)org, to send you the uncompressed file. (Not advised if you have a dial-up connection, as the file is quite large at 1.1 MB).

You can also find more tips and instructions on the WordPress Codex:
