Getting Started with WordPress

Logging into WordPress

This assumes you have a web domain with the latest version of WordPress installed. Logging in for the first time, add /wp-admin/ to your root URL, hit return, and it will bring you to the log in screen. Type in user name and password and click login. If you want to go automatically to the page from now on (on this computer/browser) check "remember me."

Opening Page

WordPress opens into the Dashboard to begin with. Click on Write and you can compose and publish your first post.
