  I have a made a domain, signed up with a host, installed WP, written and published a post, but I can’t get my blog to go on line. Where can I find out what is wrong?

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

  Good afternoon!
  It looks like the directions are right there on the page!

  Are you the Site Owner?

  You should login to your WordPress installation and prepare your site for launch.

  To launch your site just click the link in the banner at the top of the screen.

  There are 2 separate support forums for WordPress. WordPress.COM is for folks hosting their blogs here at WordPress. WordPress.ORG is for those who chose to have their blogs hosted at an ISP like you have done.

  It looks like the page is asking you to login to your site and click on the link at the top of your shiny new blog!

  Enjoy!

  Thank you for your response. Yes, I am the Site Owner. I am thrilled that this little omission was the only thing keeping me from publishing. I really appreciate your quick and informative post!!!

  P.S. I have moved my forum use over to WordPress.org — and find it very informative. Thank you for that heads-up, too!
