Writing a post is almost totally the same in different blogging platforms so we will use Wordpress as an example. But before writing your first blogpost, we should define some terms that might be unfamiliar for you.

Tag: You can tag your posts to make it easier for readers to find it fast. There is a huge difference between focusing on surgery ina post or to mention the surgery word in a post. That's why tags can help you differentiate between real content and posts just mentioning a term.

Post: A blog article that you publish on your blog and that is organized in a reverse chronological order.

Trackback and pingback: When someone links to one of your posts, you will be notifies automatically in the comment section. Trackback is a way to notify blog systems that you’ve linked to them.

1. Click on the Write button.




2. Give a title. It should be a title that can represent your subject properly.


3. Write your post and feel free to use the editing options widely.


4. Just save it if you want to work on it later without publishing. Publish it if it is ready to be open to the public. And if you would like it to be published later automatically, click on edit:

The aim is to let readers find your posts easily. Use tags and categories that can really represent the content you are focusing on.
