  • Double check the code that was made as you were building your page. You probably were looking at the Visual Editor on your page while you were adding images, text, and links – well your code was being added in the text tab on the top right.
  • Add something to your page and see what it looks like in the text editor. Using the menu at the top, try something you haven’t yet. Double check the Text Editor as you add things in the Visual Editor. Try highlighting something in the Visual Editor and see what it looks like in the Text Editor. Why might this be helpful in the future?
  • Was it easy to add images? Why or why not? What happens to the image sizes on your page? How can you make sure your image is the proper size, not just for WordPress but for any webpage?
  • Find the following HTML tags from your website: paragraph, heading, image, link, and bullets.
