Your website mainly uses Pages, Posts (or poems) and Media (or pictures)
To make changes to your website you will need to login to your dashboard (see useful links below)
You can edit any Page except the Poetry page (this exists only as a sort of ‘container’ to display your poems/posts).
Poems
Each poem is stored as a ‘Post’.
You must remember to turn on the “Poems” category (blue circle) or they won’t appear.
The poems are displayed in the order of data published, which you can change or edit (red circle).

Spacing
Enter starts a brand new ‘paragraph’ (with space between this and previous paragraph – green circle).
Shift+Enter starts a new ‘line’ (with no space between this and previous line – yellow circle).
Like this. Note: the new line is still part of the same ‘paragraph’ as the previous line.
