WordPress Basics

 The future belongs to those

who prepare for it today.~

Malcolm X

Stage One: Sign up!

1.) Head to WordPress.com and click on the sign
up now button:

Choosing a Username
2.) Choose a unique username that will identify
you in the WordPress.com community.

Choosing a Password
3.) Youll need to enter the same password
twice, and the little strength bar will
tell you if youve chosen a strong
password or not.

Contact Information
4.) Next up, add the email address youd
like to associate with your account.

Terms of Service
5.) Check out the terms of service if youd
like to, and tick the appropriate box.

Are You Ready to Blog?

6.) Select whether you want a blog or just
a username.
Just a username is for people who want

to comment on specific WordPress blogs,

but not create their own blog.

Naming your Blog

7.) On the next screen, choose a domain
name for your first blog.

Giving Your Blog a Title

8.) Pick a title for your blog.

Choose Your Preferred

Language
9.) Change your language if the correct
one isnt displayed by default.

Public vs. Private

10.) If you want people to be able to find
your content via WordPress.com or
search engines, make sure that you
check the appropriate box. If youre
planning on running a private blog, youll
want this to be unchecked.

Almost there!
11.) Click on sign up, and WordPress
will send you a confirmation email. Youll
need to respond to this to verify that
youre human.

Congratulations!
You have successfully made your first

Blog!
