I’m new & have a simple question

    I set up my blog and linked it to my website. But when I’m in my website and I’m “testing” it….whn I go to my new blog it has all the admin features still there at the top. I don’t want people having access to writing or changing things in my blog…what do I do so that they can just read it and comment, without access to “dashboard”??? (It says My Account/Dashboard/New post up at the top!!!!!)

    This has to be simple to resolve.

    Thanks!

    Don’t worry, that just applies to you as blog admin; if they’re non-Wordpress readers they won’t see it at all (just log out of WordPress to check or have a look at your blog in another browser), and when WordPress users see your blog it just takes them to their blog; clicking My Dashboard or New Post takes me to my cjwriter blog, for instance, not yours. No changes necessary. :)
