3. Adding Your Content

Type a title for your story in the Enter title bar.
Type or ‘paste from word’ your full story in the main content area. You can also load images and documents to the main content. See loading images and documents.

Wordpress will save a draft of your post every 5 minutes or so. However, when writing a long article it is good practice to type it up in Word, save, then copy & paste your content in. That way you will always have a version saved locally which you can re-copy.
