Find the prominent "post to classifieds" link (it's at the upper-left corner of the main page), drill down to the appropriate category, and fill out the simple form.  

The first page to which you're directed when posting will invite you to create an account. You don't really need an account, but it'll take only a minute or so to set up, and can make things a lot easier. So do get that account.  

Posting fees. Nearly all posts are free. If yours is not, you'll find out soon enough, or you can look over this list of exceptions. Should there be a problem with a paid post, you can use Craigslist's billing support channel: either phone (800) 664-0633, ext. 1, or write [email protected].  

Required fields. In general, the only required posting fields are Title and Description. If you omit Price, for example, users will simply see no reference to price on your post, unless you include price information in the body text.  

There are numerous limitations affecting reposting and content. I suggest you review the "Restrictions" section at: http://notbarter.com/clguide_.html
