To start with, you’ll need to log-on to the “backend” of your Wobble website.  To accomplish this simply add /administrator to the end of what you would usually type in to get to your site:

You’ll need to provide your username and password to get into the secure section of the website.  Don’t worry too much about all the options you’re going to see (we’ve secured the site to help prevent you from damaging it inadvertently).  The option you’re interested in is the “Wordpress Component” which you’ll find in the menu system here:



If you click it (once) you’ll be taken to your Wordpress “Dashboard” (this is the term they use to describe the control settings page).  Again, we’ve secured the site to help prevent you from damaging it inadvertently.

At the top of your dashboard there are three links:

If you click on “write” you’ll be able to make a new blog posting.
If you click on “manage” you’ll be able to edit (or delete) your old blog postings.
If you click on “comments” you’ll be able to approve/disapprove/delete the comments that people may make about your blog.
Note: The “Design” link won’t show up on your user – it is a special administrator area that we have locked to help prevent you from inadvertently damaging your blog.

“Write”

Enter your title and text in the block that looks like this.  You’ll discover that it functions very much like a word processor.



You can assign your posting to categories. Although this is entirely optional if you categorize your blog properly your users will be able to find your content a lot easier.  The easier it is for users to find content the more they will read.

Categories are broad topics of interest that your blog will focus on.

Put a check mark next to each category that the blog fits.  If you’d like us to add more categories for you please let us know.

Right below the “categories” box you’ll find a box for “tags”.  The tags you enter will appear at the bottom of your posting.  If a user clicks one of them they will be shown a list of posts that have the same tag.  This helps you to make links between your posts.

Once you’ve tagged and categorized your post you can click on “Publish” to send it to your blog’s front page:

There are many other more options that you can explore and experiment with once you are comfortable with this basic process of writing a blog.
