  How do log into the administration area of my account? Sorry this is such a dumb question but all this is very new to me. I have imported a template (?) supplied by the Open College of the Arts (who want their students to have blogs) and so can see the blog itself but I don’t know how to set up the main menu. I know i have to use the dashboard and I hope that when I can see the dashboard all will become clear. But the first step is eluding me…

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  To get to your Dashboard, go to https://wordpress.com/sites/
  choose the blog that you want and click Dashboard.

  If you haven’t already, you want to add new posts http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/ or new pages http://support.wordpress.com/pages/

  To create the menu, follow the instructions here:

  If you want to learn about how to use WordPress.com, go to http://learn.wordpress.com/ for some easy tutorials.

  Hope that helps!
