#  How to use the EasyBlog Composer - A Beginners Guide

    Details    Written by: [Gary Barclay](https://www.joomlalondon.co.uk/organisers/gary-barclay)   Category: [News](https://www.joomlalondon.co.uk/jugl-joomla-news)    Published: 26 May 2018    Last Updated: 05 July 2020  ​[EasyBlog](http://partners.stackideas.com/idevaffiliate.php?id=179)'s composer is a new perspective on how to create content. It is totally different from the core Joomla! methodology, and can feel unfamiliar at first. In particular it is nothing like Tiny MCE or JCE, has hardly any toolbars, and works using blocks.

This guide is designed for total novices who have never used composer before, or for people who are finding the process frustrating. Hopefully the tutorial helps you to understand how things work, some of the quirks, and how to overcome them.

This is my first video, I welcome any feedback in the comments below.
