Estimated completion time:
As a new WordPress user, completing a page may be a slow process at first. However, with practice, you can expect to build a page within an hour, assuming it’s not too complex. Pages with many elements will naturally take longer to finish. Even so, the process should not take very long.
Step 1: Sign in to the Content Factory WordPress account
Navigate to Content Factory WordPress site and enter your login information. You must obtain your username and password from Operations before proceeding. If you haven’t received them yet, please send your request to operations@yourcontentfactory.com.
Step 2: Create a new page

Step 3: Add the title:
Add the title, ensuring proper capitalization beforehand.
Step 4: Insert an image
When you click on the “Set featured image” this window will appear. You can select from the media library or if you have saved it on your computer then you can upload a file from wherever you have saved.
Step 5: Insert heading
Whenever you want to add the heading, ensure it’s H2.
Step 6: Insert text
Including text or passages (by copying and pasting) on the page is simple. Simply type within the highlighted box, or copy a block of text from a source and paste it into the box.
When you add text to your website, it appears as follows.
Step 7: Insert more elements
In order to insert new blocks into your page, click on the + sign (which will change to x after selection) located at the upper left corner of the page to activate the block inserter. Then, choose the desired type of block from the available options.
“To add an image or video block, choose either “Upload,”Media Library,” or “Insert from URL” from the sidebar. Must add alt text in the right-hand corner while adding an image.
- For “Upload,” select the media from your computer.
- For “Media Library,” select from previously uploaded media in WordPress.
- For “Insert from URL,” simply input the URL of the image or video.”
Step 8: Insert anchor text
Anchor text refers to text that has a linked URL. If a word or set of words contains a link, it will appear in blue. To create anchor text, highlight a word or group of words.
When you click the link icon in the floating toolbar that appears. Input or paste the URL in the dialog box that pops up and hit enter.
Step 9: Change the author name
In the right-hand corner change the Author name to “Dennis Yu.”
That concludes it. Now, show us your ability to create your own web page.
