Log into your WordPress Dashboard:

• In a browser, enter https://yourdomainname/wp-admin (if this does not work and you are a CharlesWorks web client, please give us a call or email us and we’ll help).

• You may also add an image by clicking the “add media” button and uploading an image.
• Once you’ve created your post, go over to the right side of the page and scroll down to where you’ll see post categories. Select whichever categories are appropriate for your post (you may select more than one).
