  Hi there,

  Have you tried reading the documentation on getting started?

  If you’re new to WordPress, it can be overwhelming at first.

  The best way to get started is by putting one foot in front of the other; eventually, you’ll find yourself moving towards your goal.

  Try picking just one task you’d like to complete, then search the documentation for info on how to achieve that.

  If you run into problems with something specific, you can post here in the forums, and staff or volunteers will do their best to help you.

  If you manage to complete that one task, then you can move onto another.

  The more specific the questions you ask, the more helpful the replies to those questions are likely to be.
