This guide is focused on logging in, authoring and publishing posts and adding multimedia.
If you are expected to create and publish posts, or are given an Author role in a blog, this guide is for you!
Log in
In general, it is best to login directly at the blog you want to work on, using the admin URL.
To find the admin URL, take the blog address (like https://myblog.blog.torontomu.ca) and add /wp-admin to the end.
Example: https://myblog.blog.torontomu.ca/wp-admin
