\"media_1420588242111.png\"<\/div>\n
\n

You can begin writing your post much the way you would write a Word document. Because you’re composing on the Internet, you should\u00a0save frequently<\/strong>\u00a0so that your work doesn’t get lost if you lose your Internet connection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Add an image (1)<\/h3>\n
\"media_1420588281576.png\"<\/div>\n

\"media_1420588406825.png\"<\/div>\n
\n

Upload an image by dragging onto the pop-up window. In the next window, you can change some settings until the image is the size and location that you prefer. You can also add a caption and “Alt Text,” where you can describe your image for the site-impaired. When you’re satisfied, click on\u00a0Insert into post<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Add a link<\/h3>\n

\n

Hit Publish.<\/h3>\n
