Writing and Formatting Posts

Crafting Readable, Well-Structured Posts

Good formatting keeps readers engaged and helps search engines understand your content's structure. WordPress's block editor makes this straightforward.

Formatting Best Practices

• Use one clear H1 title and break the body into H2/H3 subheadings to organise longer posts.
• Keep paragraphs short, generally two to four sentences, to improve readability on all screen sizes.
• Use bullet or numbered lists for steps, features, or comparisons instead of long blocks of text.
• Add bold or italic emphasis sparingly to highlight only the most important points.

Useful Blocks for Writing

The block editor offers dedicated blocks for quotes, images, tables, and embeds that go beyond plain paragraphs.

Well-formatted posts often rely on visuals too, which makes managing your media files the next important skill.
