  Ok. I just started blogging last week and I cnat get anything else to post when I write it. I have written three blogs and none of them have posted. Every time I click publish or save it takes me to where I have to login when I have already logged in. The same thing happens when I try to add websites to my blog roll. I need some help please.

  This sounds like a problem with the cache in your local browser. Try clearing your cookies, internet history and cache, log in again and see what happens.

  Let us know!

  Ok, I got my post to be able to come up, but I got some other issues too since I am new. Thank you very much the cookies did the trick. Is there a way I can post pictures or videos on my page. I havent figured out if there is an about me page or what. Thanks guys.

  Yep, pictures and videos can be done:

  1. Pictures can be uploaded and then displayed. This FAQ link will help with the images:

  How do I upload pictures? [Screencast]

  2. Videos are best hosted by YouTube and then linked into a post. This FAQ Entry will help:

  How do I post a Youtube video? [screencast]

  3. The About page is normally something that you will create for yourself. If you go to “Write” in your dashboard there is an option to “write page”. Click that and you’re away.

  Anything else we can help with, please shout! :)
