For the majority of readers out there, this post may seem like I am stating the obvious. But it has come to my attention that some of the newbies may need a little help with this topic.
Whenever you are writing a new blog post you should write in some kind of word document then save it before you copy and post it to your Wordpress Blog.
For Example: Microsoft Word, Wordpad, Notepad.
You can find Microsoft Word by clicking
- > Start (bottom left corner of your screen) – > All Programs, – > Microsoft Office
You can find WordPad & Notepad in, Start – > All Programs – > Accessories
This is what Start looks like in Vista, “The circular object with the red, green, blue, yellow wavy flags”
My preference is Microsoft Word because of all the extra functions and “Don’t quote me” I think it was Office 2007 where word also started offering an extra option where you could choose a Blank Document or New Blog Post.
Anyway the reason I recommend you write and save your posts into a some kind of word Processor is you will have a copy of all your work, what would you do if for some reason your site had a major malfunction and you lost the lot, don’t think that this is not possible, it can happen!
It may even get lost by your hosting service. “Not likely, but not impossible” another good reason is, you can then go back to a previous article or post that you have saved separate to your blog and add-subtract at will and not have to worry if you run out of time and leave it incomplete, you can simply come back tomorrow and finish off. Yet another good reason for doing this is you could have some kind of upload problem when you finish writing your blog, “possible internet connection issues” then all your work will have to remain in limbo while you sweat and worry if your work will still be there when things come back to normal.
There many, many more, very good and valid reasons why you should always write you primary copy into a word processing software before uploading to your blog. It may save some major headaches in the future.
When you are done you simply copy and paste your work into your wordpress blog then ad your anchor text and pictures and pretty things up.
