  How do I get to the dashboard from the editing area on the free version of WP?

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

  You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

  I have no trouble logging in. What I asked was HOW DO I GET TO THE DASHBOARD. After that, I know what to do.

  Which editor are you using?
  We have two.
  Which editing page are you referring to?

  Hi Sandy,

  Which dashboard are you trying to get to? If you are logged in, all you need to do is go to http://wordpress.com to get to the new dashboard. For the old dashboard, you can go to http://privilegedcommunications.wordpress.com/wp-admin to reach it.

  Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

  Thanks for the help. However, I figured out the problem. When I start up and go to the stat page, an unresponsive script warning pops up. If I click on debug button, my Mac locks down. I have to Force Quit my browser. If I just click on Stop the Script, I can then go on. So I am okay now. It annoys me that WP has this script problem.

  Glad that you were able to sort things out.

  Yes, we are familiar with the unresponsive script and were working on it:
