🟢 The original text is good (I removed the WP.com references already) How can I create a post?So what’s a post? Posts are what make your blog a blog — they’re servings of content that are listed in reverse chronological order on your blog’s front page. Create a post using your mobile device, and let us know who you are and what you think the pros and cons of mobile blogging are. If you are stuck on what to write, feel free to consider these questions:
Here’s how to create a post on both Android and iOS devices. You have two options: You can either select the “Blog Posts” tab in the Dashboard or tap the black-and-white “Create New” icon in the lower right-hand corner. You can also tap the "Create New" icon directly from your dashboard. If you tap the "Create New" icon from the dashboard, you can select whether to add a new Blog post or Site page.

🟢 The original text is good (I removed the WP.com references already) How to add a block?Blocks are the components for adding content in the WordPress block editor. There are many different block types available for you to use. When you create a new post or page a paragraph block is automatically added right below the page or post title. So to start writing you can tap below the title and start typing. If you would like to add a different block, like an image or a heading, for example, you can tap on the plus sign at the bottom of your screen. You will then be presented with the list of blocks in the mobile apps. Please note not all blocks available in the block editor when you use a browser are accessible in the app, but we are always working to add more features to the app. Review the list of Blocks available in the App. (add url)

Example: 7 categories and 3 tags (total 10) is fine.
