  re: getting started

  Every theme has a detailed theme description page. This one is at https://wordpress.com/theme/blask that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.

  All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/ where we have a search box as the most prominent feature on the page.

  These support docs are useful for getting started:
  Get started https://en.support.wordpress.com/start/
  Quick Start https://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/
  Basic tutorial http://learn.,wordpress.com
  Using the theme customizer https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

  See also Five Leads for Self-Help with WordPress.com https://dailypost.wordpress.com/2016/01/14/help-with-wordpress-com/ and that’s where set up instructions for it and the live demo site link is found.

  Crystal – just let us know if you need further help! timethief, thanks for pitching in, as always. :)

  The first thing you’ll need to do is switch to Blask (I see Bouquet on it now now). You’ll then see a new item called Portfolios in your dashboard, and you’ll be able to start adding portfolio projects. Make sure each portfolio project has a featured image. You can learn more here about adding portfolios and featured images:

  As timethief pointed out, there’s a specific guide to setting up Blask here: https://wordpress.com/theme/blask

  If you get stuck at any step, just let us know!
