Your website is composed of Pages, Posts, Links, Categories and Comments which you can manage through the Dashboard once you are logged in — www.yourdomainname.com/wp-login.php

Pages
Most of your website’s content will be on Pages. Go to Manage > Pages and click Edit in the list of pages. From there you can edit the text using the built-in Text Editor. (Note: Text Editor’s Toolbar does not yet work in Safari.) You can also preview the Page before clicking Save. For most Clients it will not be necessary to touch the options in the right column as these will have been preset by Reliably Online.

Images
Images can be uploaded (without FTP) and inserted into the content using the built-in Upload Form. Once your images is uploaded you can click on the image icon and Send To Editor as well as choose to Use Original or Use Thumbnail among other options. You can also browse through all your uploaded images.

Posts
Some of your content will be managed through Posts. Posts are more for blogging type websites but they can be good useful for pages in which you want content to accumulate and be archivable. (eg. Blogs, FAQs or News). The content of each Post is managed in a similar mannner to that of Pages. However, in the right column you will want to choose the appropriate Category for your Post.

Links
Links are also organized into categories but they are used for creating lists, especially lists of Links. These lists can be displayed according to user-defined specifications and they are often displayed in the side columns but they can also be integrated into content of specifically designed pages (eg. Links & Resources).

Categories
Your Posts are organized into Categories and you can add, change or delete Categories accordingly. Posts can also go in multiple Categories and Categories are hierarchical (as can Pages be).

Comments
Notification of Comments will be emailed to you and then Moderate them accordingly.
