    I signed up on WordPress, now what? I am a complete newbie and am not a technical genius.
    I am also contemplating starting a blog, what are the costs involved in that with WordPress?

    m4db:

    Cost information is easily available on the WordPress site. If you spend just 5 minutes, you will find it.

    I spent HOURS at the site and on other web sites to learn about WordPress. However, I cannot find a user-friendly “how-to” at the WordPress site.

    I cannot find easy instructions on how to add content to each page; it is only letting me add content to the “About” and “Welcome” pages. It’s not letting me add written content to any of the other pages.

    The instructions need to be written in a common-sense manner that mirrors the way MOST people think, especially people who are NEW to blogging and to WordPress and who are NOT techies!

    I have taught for many years, and the cardinal rule of presenting information is 1) common-sense style; 2) building-block style; 3) EASY to understand; 4) NO tech-speak! MAKE IT EASY for people!
