You can then choose to either publish your post or “preview” your post. If you decide to preview it will take you to a screen that shows what the page will look like on your website when published.
Step 6: Publish your blog post.
Once you have reviewed your “preview” of your post and it looks as you hoped, you can then press “Publish” and your page will be published and will show up live on your website once you are ready to make your website live!
Once you have published your post, any changes that need to be made will be able to be updated at any time in your WordPress account when editing your post.
