- You can format typed content on this page by selecting it and then clicking one of the text options above the text window (e.g., B to bold).

Question

I have created a standard layout page to write some stories. How do I post my stories?

Community Answer

You just have to make a post. Go to dashboard and press the blue button with a pencil on it (it's in the top right corner). You can then paste the text of your story into the text space and post it onto your page.

Question

What do I write for the body?

Community Answer

The body is what people will see when they click on the link, so you can add whatever content you would like as long as it relates to the title.
