Here is a very quick step-by-step guide for posting a blog entry directly from Microsoft Word 2007. These instructions may vary depending on your version of Microsoft Word, and also by your current setup of the software, although they can still be used as a guide. When an entry is posted, you would need to log in to islahicentre.org to set additional options on the blog entry such as related tags, terms and comment permissions, and so on.

1. Open Microsoft Word.

2. Create a new document, select Blog post.

3. If we haven’t used Word to post to blogs before, we will be asked to register our account with Word. Click Register Now.

4. Select WordPress as blog provider

5. Enter http://islahicentre.org/xmlrpc.php as the URL and enter your username and password (that you registered with islahicentre.org) below.

6. Enter a title for the blog entry where it says [Enter Post Title Here] and enter the content for the blog below the line.

7. When finished, click Publish.

8. Word will then publish the entry to your islahicentre.org account

Posts are the entries that display in reverse chronological order on your home page. In contrast to pages, posts usually have comments fields beneath them and are included in your site’s RSS feed.

To write a post:

1. Log in to your WordPress Administration Panel (Dashboard).
2. Click the Posts tab.
3. Click the Add New Sub Tab
4. Start filling in the blanks.
5. As needed, select a category, add tags, and make other selections from the sections below the post. Each of these sections is explained below.
6. When you are ready, click Publish.
