  i’m new to this, reading the material provided doesn’t answer what i want to know. i’d love it if someone could look at my blogs ( all 3 of them) and tell me if i’m ok or not. thanks

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

  I don’t know what you mean by okay. If you wish you can use this do it yourself (DIY) 12 step blog evaluation that I use when I evaluate blogs.

  I also note that when I click your username the result is that I’m looking at a completely empty blog wearing the Bueno theme.

  You’re welcome. The post I linked to contains the process I use to evaluate blogs. It’s written in a straight forward manner so bloggers can use it themselves as I no longer have the time to do blog evaluations, and as some bloggers expected far more than an evaluation.

  I recommend using the step by step process set out in the learn WordPress.com tutorial.

  Look at the link to learn that timethief gave you – you have figured out # 6 how to make a Post – just go back and add some content to a Post or make a new Post or two and write something, even if it is “I don’t really know what to do with my blog” a bit of content makes it looks like forward progress.

  Don’t worry at the start about getting everything “just right” – WordPress.COM is easy to change.

  Write a bit to get over the writers block. Write about things you like or believe in.

  Good luck

  I have been reading this thread since it started, we all had to start in the dark ( even timethief ) and she has taught me a lot :)

  I will go to your blog to-morrow ( bed time here ), leave a comment, you will find it in the dashboard, approve it, read it in your front page, thats a start.
