    Hi, I’m just starting out with WordPress, wanting to review items on here.

    Im just wondering can I just make a blog work by just going onto my account on WordPress.com and editing everything there?

    I’m getung confused with things on the internet making out that I need to download other stuff and get a hosting site. Can it not all be done in a browser without downloads or getting a different hosting site?

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

    Hi there. You don’t need to download anything, no. WordPress.com is basically a blog in a box. You can just go to your dashboard at http://kristechtv.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ and start creating posts and pages.

    The stuff you see on the internet talking about downloads, hosting, etc. refers to WordPress.org – same name, but completely different setup. There you have to do everything yourself, unlike here where you only have to worry about content.

    To find out how stuff works here, the WordPress.com support pages are the best place to go for help. Especially start here to quickly learn how everything works: https://learn.wordpress.com/

    And if you can’t find an answer in the support docs, come ask here in the forum.

    Welcome to WordPress.com and happy blogging :)
