Getting Started

Hello and welcome! This page is about how to get started with your new site.

What Next?

Once your account has been activated, you should login using the login form at the top left of the home page. After you login, you’ll see a gray admin bar along the top of all the pages. The admin bar has quick links for getting to your account pages, dashboard, creating a new post, and more. Click on the My Dashboard link to get to the settings and editing pages for your new site.

If you don’t see a My Dashboard link, then you have probably have a username-only account please contact us if you would like a site account.

Now that you’ve found the dashboard for your site, you may want to customize the title and tagline. You can do that by clicking Settings on the left menu. See the General Settings help page for more details about what you can change there.

Using us for a Website

You may want to set up a blog or you may want to use us to create a website instead.

Start Writing!

To create a new post, go to Posts > Add New from the dashboard or use the New Post link in the gray admin bar shown at the top of  while you are logged in. If you see a “not found” message on your blog home page, that’s because you haven’t added any posts or set a static front page yet.

Your blog is your voice, so write some great posts, add some tags and categories, and check out our tips for Getting More Views and Traffic.
