  I am totally new to wordpress so please bear with me,

  To be clear http://www.propertybuyersforyou.co.uk/ is NOT a free hosted WordPress.COM blog and we don’t provide support for WordPress.ORG software at WordPress.COM. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have separate logins. If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.

  As the first line of my post states I am new, I was just after help. I am new to this and did not know where to post my support this is the first place I found, I would of preferred somebody to have a better attitude towards a new person on the site than some keyboard warrior.

  My attitude is helpful. Your personal attack on me is right out of line.

  If you want to get help then you must post to the correct support forum to get it.

  We do not provide support at WordPress.com for this site http://www.propertybuyersforyou.co.uk/ because it’s not being hosted by WordPress.com.

  Support for that site is provided ay http://wordpress.org/support/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
