How does messaging work?
Messages are actually quite similar to an email. When you click "New Message," you start by adding a title (subject), then write the news item or blog post and add any formatting.
Additional settings
From this point on, the most important thing is done. However, you also want your post to look good and perhaps be categorized by tag words or categories. For this, you'll find a clear sidebar on the right side of the screen, where the following headings are not required but strongly recommended:
- Categories;
- Tags (words related to the post);
- Featured image.
You can explore the other headings yourself for additional functionality. For example, consider adding a summary to display in the message overview (otherwise it's automatically generated), or enabling or disabling comments under the Discussion heading.
Schedule your post for the date and time you want, for example, you can write and schedule all your blog posts a month in advance.
