My Blogging Workflow

• Open browser
• Open my website’s WordPress backend in a tab
• Open any webpages I want to quote from or link to in new tabs
• Click the + button to create a new post using the Gutenberg editor
• Type in text
• Copy and paste in quotes as necessary
• Add links as necessary
• Upload and insert images if required
• Read and check I’m happy with the post
• Hit that Publish button!

Yes, it is that simple.

I don’t bother with tags, all posts get the default category of Journal.

I’ve tried apps in the past, and they worked for a while then repeatedly failed to connect to my blog due to XML-RPC errors. In the end, I gave up and got rid of them.

My software is my browser. Simple as that. Nothing else needed. As long as I can open a browser on any device I have to hand, visit this site and enter my login and password I’m good to go.

Oh, and I highly recommend this Mini Blogging Masterclass post by Amber Wilson. I blog about what I feel like, when I feel like doing so. 🙂
