Tutorial: Write your first WordPress post and syndicate it out
This article is a stub. You can help the IndieWeb wiki by expanding it.
For this tutorial, we assume that you successfully setup and configured your Wordpress-based Indie Website. Now it is time to post!
Post to the Indie Web
Here are the steps:
1. | After you have logged into your WordPress installation through your browser, select "New" and then "Post" from from the top navigation bar. | |
2. | Find a catchy title and write to your heart's delight!
When you are done, set the post kind to the kind of post it is in the sidebar. |
|
3. | Also tag the post and assign it to the right category of posts on your site, so the search engines can find it more easily. | |
4. | Select "Bridgy publish to ..." and the silos that you want to publish your post to, and then click "Publish". | |
5. | Visit Twitter, Facebook or whatever other silos you syndicated your post post to. While they may not get the update instantaneously, they usually have it rather quickly. | |
6. | Watch comments come in. Your friends might be commenting on Instagram or Twitter, but your WordPress site will end up with copies of their comments. |
Congratulations!
