Adding a new blog post

1. Log in
2. Click Posts, then Add New
3. If you don’t want people to leave comments, untick settings near bottom
4. Click Publish

Note: when setting the tag for the blog, use “Choose from the most popular tags” rather than typing it in.  Posts that you want to appear in the ‘Pastor’s Blog’, should have a tag of “Pastor’s Blog” (so it appears in the Tag Cloud listing) and a category of “Pastor” (which may ultimately encompass more than just the pastor’s blog)
