Getting started with WordPress……. A few questions……
-
Hi all,
I am new to WordPress. First of all, I would like to know where I could go on this site or elsewhere to get info on getting started, FAQ, tutorials, etc. A link would be much appreciated. Secondly, one of my intentions with joining is to create a website via wordpress. I would also appreciate it if someone can help me get started with this as well (provide a link to info).
Thanks all.

You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.
This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.
If you don’t understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.

Actually, I do have a blog, but it was not listed as one of the choices. What can I do? Also, how do I edit this thread?
Thanks.

I am also new to WordPress AND blogging. Here is my blog: http://sharisaxisoutthere.wordpress.com/
What do I do to (a) allow people to subscribe via email AND RSS feed?
(b) How do I add a chat [IM] box.
Thanks,

This is Shari Weiss again, see above . . . unfortunately, I looked at FAQ to answer my feed question and I ended up substituting “nothing” except for the name of my blog — INSTEAD of the categories, pages, blogroll.
I thought I’d lost all that, but when I tried a different theme [that didn’t allow widgets] I got that info back. NOW my question is: How can I get the blogroll, pages, etc. back using Kubrick theme again?

Hi there, does this help you at all, sharisax? http://support.wordpress.com/widgets/using-widgets/

Thanks, carocat, as a newbie, I’m certain to have lots of problems that will get straightened out as I bumble along. I actually did find the Widgets help under Appearance — and got my orignal widgets back. I still have not figured out how to put in that CHAT box or subscripion enablers. I’ll keep looking.

This will give you a chat box:
And search the faq for How do I offer email updates for the other.

Does anyone know if there is some kind of tutorial that will walk me through how to set up my blog (I am going to start with this to get familiar) and show all the essential features of WordPress.com?
If anyone knows of one please provide a link.
