When you are ready, click the Save button at the top of the page. Be sure to set the Status of the article as Published and its category as Blog to post it on your website.

Once your new article is ready if you want you can connect it to one of your website's menu so your visitors can find it easier.
To connect your new article into a menu of your website you need to use the Menus option from the Joomla control panel.
To do this:

If you visit the Home Page where the Main Menu is, you will see the new Article menu item you just added.
