  Hi, I am excited about a blog but not want to make mistakes. Please help:

  (b) Do most use their real name? Give their resume to let people know who they are?
  (c) Can I cancel my blog if I can’t hanlde it?
  (d) How often shall I post?
  (e) Am I able to delete posts/commnets that are offensive or immaterail?
  Any other advice?

  Hi and welcome to WordPress.com

  Check out the following FAQ I’m new to blogging…

  -It’s up to you to use your real name.
  -You are able to delete your blog, if you’d like to. Just know that you can’t get it back, if you change your mind
  -How often you post is also up to you.
  -You also have options to moderate/manage/delete comments left on your blog

  Hope that helps you out a little as you’re getting started :) Always check the FAQs or Forums if you have any questions, but also feel free to contact support if you can’t find the answers you’re looking for.

  You need to know the URL of the blog. If he’s set it to Private, he needs to invite you via email.

  Go to the front of your blog and, on your blue admin bar on the right-hand side where it says Blog Info, report it as Mature.
