A quick overview of the Wordpond editor so you can start publishing immediately.

Wordpond comes with an intuitive, modern editor that does its best to let you focus on content and not worry about the technical details of publishing online.

Under its minimalistic look lies a powerful toolkit to help you create distinct publications fast.

For many, the essential workings of the editor will feel very familiar. You can start publishing content online by simply writing (or pasting).

Things work for you, so you don't have to think much about the editor. When you need more power, you will find blocks that allow you to embed rich media into your posts and create beautifully laid-out articles.

Using blocks

You can insert blocks in your content using the + button, which appears on new lines, or by typing / on a new line to trigger the blocks menu.

Many choices are big time-savers, like author profiles with embedded profile pictures and information.

Browse through some of the blocks, and you'll find more advanced blocks, like table-of-contents, forms, and a powerful gallery block.

As it turns out, sometimes pictures and a thousand words go together really well. Telling people a great story often has much more impact if they can feel, even for a moment, as though they were right there with you.

Mixing some blocks will create a distinct look and transform your article into a storytelling format in no time.
