To follow the progress of how your page is looking, after each step click on Previrew. This will automatically save it as a draft.

Assuming you have created a test page, or using your published site (which I wouldn't recommend) you need to add a new page: Pages>Add New. Once you have added your new page you should see this:

You can change the Add Title to anything you want. Now we need to set up the Visual Editor. On the Add Title, click on the encircled plus sign (indicated with a red arrow):

Now you should see this:

Click on the Classic Paragraph icon (indicated with a red arrow) and you should see this:

Ok, that's your Visual Editor set up. Now let's create some content, starting with a H1 Heading.

Hi Harry,
I don't know when you wrote this, I'm a non-tech person trying to understand... I've spent too many hours trying to re-size an image in Gutenberg. Already my options open up different from those you have, so that complicates things for me. You say (lesson 5) that by clicking on the image in the visual editor I should be able to resize it as I require. But the only control I seem to have is to choose, on the right, Full-size, Large, Medium, Thumbnail. Whatever I click on, the image size stays the same: TOO BIG: The size was right in the Content Manager, but I'm now stuck in WP and really lost... Any ideas for me?

You have Kraken installed by default with every WordPress installation; in your block editor, with posts and pages and the right sidebar, you can choose the size of your image from thumbnail to small, medium, large, and actual size.

You click the plus icon, then the image. You insert one from your media library and choose the size.

I hope you can manage it.
