  I posted my first two blogs and want to get friends access to read them. How do I go about doing that? I can’t pull them up myself unless I go through my own account. Help me out. THANKS

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

  The link to your blog is:
  http://phillypressbox.wordpress.com/

  Send that link to your friends so they can take a look. By the way, that is also how you can view your own blog.

  Email them this link:

  http://phillypressbox.wordpress.com/

  That is the front page of your blog

  PS: Change / Edit the About Page – (give your blog a bit more class)

  Thanks for the help. I also edited the About Page. It was a great help. I have one other question, when my blog is posted the “edit this entry” tab/light is on so you can click on it. It looks like anybody can go in and edit my post. Is this normal and if not how do I fix it??

  You only see the “Edit” when you are logged in to a blog and have Edit privileges – if I go to your site I would not see the Edit feature – I see the Edit on my site but if you click on my name you will not see the Edit feature.

  You be welcome & good luck

  PS – 2: think about the More Tag to keep your front page a bit cleaner looking:

  Because your blog is only 3 days old, you might want to take a look at this tutorial to get yourself more acquainted with using WordPress:

  Thanks to both of you. I’ve read up a bunch but obviously have a lot to learn. I’m really enjoying this though. I probably got a little too anxious to get started and went for it. I guess like putting something together before you read the directions. Thanks again.
