  Hi everyone! I really want to start helping others with their questions about WordPress.com because I’ve got 5 sites of my own and I’m in various stages of completion. I’ve got some experience with the whole process and I’d like to share that with some people who are just starting out.

  Do you have some suggestions on other resources I could look at in order to help others and eventually become a moderator?

  Thanks!

  Hi souladviser

  In addition to helping out on the forums (which is excellent!), you might also be interested in joining a WordPress Meetup. Here’s a link to the more than 1000 meet up groups around the world. https://www.meetup.com/topics/wordpress/

  I have answered questions here for over 10 years. I predate all support docs and all but one support staff member being on staff. I have advice to offer if you want to read it.

  Hi All, I am “very” new to wordpress :) and I am experiencing some technical difficulties in setting up my site. I would appreciate any help and suggestions that you may be willing to offer. Here are my questions: 1) I am have five posts on my home page and I’m trying to figure out how to set up new posts, but can’t seem to. I am not sure if I am limited to five based on the template that I chose or if there is a way to add more? 2) I am unclear as to what the difference is between the posts on the home page and the blog page? 3) I would like to make the page bilingual (French and English), but I can not seem to get the links to work. Please help! Thank you :)
