And if you want to create a page then click on pages and then add new.

Keep in mind that page and post both are different things in WordPress.

Posts are elements of the information listed in chronological sequence on a blog page.

They’re frequently in the form of articles and posted format on a regular basis.

While, Pages are created for stuff that is static and never changes, such as a home page or a contact page.

You can change pages every now and again, but they mostly stay the same.

So As you click on the new post you got a screen showing the title and content area automatically.

There you can write your title in the paragraph or content area, you can add it by using the (+) Plus sign on the body of the content page.

By adding multiple different blocks you can start creating a blog post where a title, written text, images, and video can be incorporated.

A WordPress text editor advanced feature is if you write your blog content in Microsoft word or google docs.

It can be directly pasted all hereby just copying and pasting options through your keyboard or mouse.

It can easily arrange your written content likewise. If some of the blocks will not be as per your requirement.
