  I have tried and read all the articles and watched the videos but when I go to my admin page there is no toolbar at the top and I am unable to reopen the welcome directions page.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes that gets me to my dashboard but when I am there there is not toolbar at the top to get to the places the video on Dashboard tell me should be there. Only Reader and my site shows at the top.

  @moonbean7 ,

  Could you please share a screen shot of your desktop so I can better understand what you are experiencing. You can use https://snag.gy/ it’s easy and free. Just copy/paste the URL here once you have completed the screen shot.

  Thanks!

  On WordPress.com the Classic WP-Admin dashboard, and the new dashboard are both located on the left hand side of your screen.

  I am wondering if you watched a video for WordPress.org by mistake? Can you link me to the video you watched?

  The screen shot that you shared is the classic WP-Admin dashboard.

  Both the classic dashboard, and the new dashboard, have the menu on the left hand side of your screen. On the Mac desktop app it is also on the left hand side of the screen.

  I am unable to find any tutorials at wp-beginner.com. If you need help getting started with your site/blog you will find these links helpful.

  http://www.wpbeginner.com/ Is a tutorial for WordPress.org.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are entirely different. Please read about that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  You can use the links above to help you get started here at WordPress.com.
