# Add New Post | Website Manual

**Add New Post**

Posts are dated entries such as news, tips, case studies or announcements.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

## Before you finish

Tick them off as you go.

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

Posts are dated entries such as news, tips, case studies or announcements. They appear on your blog or news page with the newest at the top, and each one can be sorted into categories.

Write a title that tells readers what the post is about, and set a featured image if your blog listing shows one. You can also schedule a post to go live at a later date and time.

Your website should be handled. Not handed back to you.
