add some additonal colums like writing guide,the staff, contact etc?
We cannot ad “extra columns”. We cannot edit themes and templates. We can add static pages and we can create custom menus.
What’s important is the differences between pages and posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
There is only one dynamic page in a blog for posts and we cannot post to more than that one page. But we can create the appearance that we have posted to more than one page.
We organize our posts by assigning Categories to them. When we publish a post it automatically appears on the running page for posts and also on the Categories pages and Archives pages.
A custom menu allows you to display Categories in tabs along the horizontal navigation where normally only Pages tabs are displayed. If you wish you can also include Pages and custom links in your custom menu as well.
These are the how-to instructions:
How to create Pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/
1. You create a custom menu. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/
2. You add the Categories you want to display and arrange them in the order you want.
3. Then you add and drop and drag the sub-categories below the appropriate Categories, and when you have everything arranged in the menu that you want you save the menu.
4. Go to the “theme location” module at upper left on the menu page. Select your custom menu name from the pull-down labeled “primary location.” Click the save button in that module.
5. Refresh your browser so that it isn’t possibly pulling a cached page, and view see your new menu with Parent pages and dropdowns to sub-pages.

Hi there
Thank you very much for your reply. I am afraid I am no tthat computer savvy.So If it’s ok I was going to ask for a little more help.
The Site I mentioned thejohnreport.net. Is there any way you could help me set my blog up like that please paticulary like it is written at the top?
I am still unsure how you add this text widget for twitter like it is on that site again could you help me with that please?
Many Thanks
Alex

There are two different types of WordPress blogs. The one you are pointing to is a self hosted WordPress.ORG install. Your blog is a free WordPress.com blog being free hosted by WordPress.com. The two run on different software and the themes of the same name are not coded the same way. Read this please > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
You cannot create a blog that’s exactly the same as the WordPress.ORG install you are pointing to. What you can do on your free hosted WordPress.COM blog is follow the instructions I posted above. WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org: The Differences > http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
I can recommend a tutorial prepared by WordPress.COM staff. The Learn WordPress.com tutorial is divided into progressive levels and presented as a series: http://learn.wordpress.com/

Hi again thanks for all your help think I am getting the hang of it now!
One other question is there anyway you can get someone limited access to your account? For example they could spell and grammar check some of your posts but couldn’t edit your personal details?

Yes you can add official users. See here for the roles and be cautious.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/But I believe you might prefer this instead. To request feedback from someone, all you need is their email address. They have no access to your Admin section if you make this choice. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/request-feedback/

Hi there
thanks again for all your help
I just had another quick question.
I know you are able to share your posts onto twitter. Now i have created a seperate twitter accoount to the one thats on the text widget at the top of the page to publicize the account. Is there anyway I can set a different twitter account o the share option on the page so it’s seperate to the text widget or does it have to be the same?
