blogging
Blog post overview
things to know
We recommend typing out your blog post in a separate document and copying and pasting them in rather than typing in the blog post editor – this way you have a saved copy in case your internet cuts out or it somehow doesn’t save as a draft!
web management / troubleshooting
Updating + managing your website
things to know
This is a must watch! WordPress is awesome because it is so powerful – but you do have to keep your website up-to-date to keep it safe and running smoothly. We recommend updating and walking through your website once every one to two weeks (it’s super easy and quick!)

This is an important step, do not skip this! Uploading giant images is a surefire way to slowing down your website speed.
