How To Create A Blog In Your Wordpress Website

In this video I show you how to create blogposts and a blogpage in your current Wordpress website. We will talk about creating a blogpost using the Gutenberg editor, using Gutenberg Blocks to design your blogpost, add other addons to give your website more functionality.
We will style our blogpost and take a look at all the settings for the blogpost. Like: Categories, Tags, Scheduling and publishing settings, the featured images, theme settings and more.
After that we will create a blogpage using the theme customizer and using the free Elementor Page Builder. Below I have timestamps so you can go to a certain part of the tutorial.

Thank you so much. I can't tell you how grateful I am for you and all that you bring to this world. I've put myself in much debt trying to learn wordpress from classes online, and they DO NOT cover 1/100 of what you do here for free. I'm so grateful for you. God bless you and all you ever do. I'll be sure to support you from now on by using your affiliate links. Thanks again.
