The best thing to do is to watch the video “How To Post a Blog Post” on the this blog.
The next best thing is to follow these steps.
For now, just post to your blog. Later on this summer, I will show you how to make a really cool looking website portfolio using your Weebly site. This is not a rule, but it is a wise idea to use a text editor to create your blog posts (I use Evernote) and cut and paste the text into your blog.
If you ever run into problems posting to your blog, just send me the text and I will post it for you—and help you figure out the problem. This site has help videos for almost everything you can do on a Weebly site. https://weebly.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
If you have an iPad or iPhone, you can download a free Weebly app. It is not as sophisticated as the online version, but it works well for quick posts and adding images and videos.
As always, you can email me anytime at [email protected] or give me a call at 978-793-1553 or post a comment on this blog.
If you would like to schedule a private tutorial, contact me, and we can set up.
Good luck and start writing!
