How to create a new post on the DPS blog
Creating a new post on the DPS blog is very simple! If you have ever used the WordPress platform before, you will find the process very familiar.
To begin, select new post from the drop-down menu at the top of the screen.

You can then begin creating your post. The blog will prompt you to add a title and start entering in content (where it says ‘Type / to choose a block’) – blocks can be comprised of either text or imagery. You can even embed content such as YouTube videos.

When creating your post, you can also assign it to a category via the panel on the right of the screen – please ensure that you select the ‘News – I am here!’ category only!

Once you have finished creating your post, press Publish.

Your post will be submitted to the course administrators for approval – after which it will appear live on the blog!
