You can copy text from another source and past it into the post field but you will need to check for formatting problems.

Now all you need to do is click on the Publish button.



That's it, that's all you need to do to post a main subject topic to the blog. You can also save a post as a Draft if you find that you didn't have time to finish it. You can always come back and complete it at a later time.
