To create a WordPress blog:
- Go to http://wordpress.com/
- Click Start your wordpress Blog.
- Enter a username and e-mail address, check Gimme a Blog and click Next.
- Choose a blog domain name (can’t be changed), title (can be changed later), language, and click Create Blog. If the domain name is available, you’ll get a new page displaying “yourblogdomain.wordpress.com Is Yours.” If the domain name is not available, you will get an error message and be prompted to try a different domain name.
- Click My Dashboard at the top of the page. This takes you to the administration page (where you will write your blog posts and manage your blog).
- Click View Site at the top left of the page. Your blog appears! By default it is in the standard WordPress blog template. You can leave it as is for now, or you can go to Change the look of your blog for instructions on customizing your blog.
The Day 2 assignment will include writing your first entry, but you don’t have to wait till then to start if you don’t want to! (Write a blog post)
To log back in to your blog after logging out, go to http://yourblogname.wordpress.com/wp-login.php. (Note that you need to replace yourblogname with your actual domain name.)
It’s a good idea to bookmark the login page!
