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.
