Starting my first post.
-
I was told that my site was set up and to start blogging. When I pressed the start a post key nothing happened. Did I leave something out?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Try clicking on the “add” button next to “blog posts” at this page:
https://wordpress.com/stats/day/craigfiction.wordpress.com
That should take to you a post editor where you can create your blog posts.

Can you direct me to a tutorial that will explain to me just how to set up and edit my blog. I have set it up. I think it’s right. When I call it up I get a black screen with one of my graphics in the upper left corner. When I click on follow in the lower right corner I get the whole page that I’ve set up. I would like to edit the page by inserting a link to Amazon. Of course I’ll want to add to the page in the future. So far I’m just guessing at what commands to initiate, and I’m not seeing anything that allows me to edit or add to the page. This is all brand new to me, and I guess I need more help.

By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the error message will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/

Bloggers at WordPress.com with their own books on Amazon can use a plain HTML affiliate link code from Amazon and then used that to link an image (book cover or Buy at Amazon button). See here https://wpbtips.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/images-the-three-link-options/ and note “Custom URL” to link to your book’s cover.
