Part 3
Starting Your Blog with WordPress.com
It’s time to blog! Part 3 is for people who have chosen WordPress.com for their blogging tool. (However, much of the content related to creating posts and pages and configuring settings applies to WordPress.org users, too.) I recommend all bloggers start a free test blog on WordPress.com to become familiar with the features and capabilities before investing the time and money into creating a WordPress.org blog to ensure they like to blog and like WordPress. Therefore, Part 3 is important for all WordPress bloggers.
 
In Part 3, you learn how to create an account at WordPress.com and what all the boxes and links are for you to see on your screen when you log in to your account. I take you through each screen and each function step by step, so you can set up your blog, customize your settings to your liking, modify your blog’s design, write blog posts, add pages to your blog, and try all the various options and features available to you. In addition, you learn what upgrades are available to you.
