    • Click the “insert gallery” button.
  • If you want to post a VIDEO from youtube, simply add the video’s URL to the body of the post.
  • If you want to add a LINK to the body of your post, you can do so by highlighting the text you want to be linked, and click the “insert/edit link” button (to the left of the spell checker). Then add the URL destination and click the box that says “Open link in a new window/tab”.
  • When you’re finished adding content, click the blue “publish” button on the right.

View post”… if you click on “view post” it will show you what the post looks like on the site… at this point, if you want to make any changes, just click on the “edit post” button and it will return you to prior screen.  If you make any adjustments, be sure to click the blue “update” button on the right to apply your changes.
