Creating Content
Password protection
So you want to share something with some people, but not everyone? Easy, protect the article in question with a password.
Post Slug
If you are using clean PermaLinks on your website, you can define the link to an individual post by using a post-slug.
Post to the future
You can write a post today and have it appear on the weblog at a future date, automatically.
Multi paged posts
If your post is too long, cut it up into pages, so your readers don’t have to scroll to the end of the world.
File/picture uploading
You can upload pictures or files, and link to them or display them in your articles. You have the option of creating thumbnails of pictures when you upload them.
Categories
Organize your posts into categories, and sub-categories, and sub-sub categories…
Emoticons
WordPress is smart enough to convert character smileys, like “:)” into the graphical image counterparts.
Save Drafts
Save your unfinished articles, improve them later, publish when you’re done.
Previewing Posts
Before you press the “Publish” button, you can look at the preview for the article you just wrote to check if everything is the way you want it. In fact, you can do that at any time, since the preview is “live”.
Desktop Tools
You don’t have to use a browser to update your weblog, you can use any desktop blogging tool that supports the MetaWeblog or Blogger API.
Blog by email
You can send your posts as an email and have them appear on the weblog.
Bookmarklets
Add the “Press It!” bookmarklet provided by WordPress to your browser and you have a shortcut to create an article with a link to the page currently displayed on your browser!
Sidebar
If you don’t like a bookmarklet, use our friendly browser sidebar, which can be used in a similar fashion.
Formatting
Think of WordPress as something that makes your words smoother, and your pages more appealing. WordPress ships with text-formatting plugins that clean up your content and add typographic goodness to your articles.
