  I am very frustrated by WordPress. Both WordPress.com and WordPress.org makes it very confusing as there is no clear definitive explanation between the two. I have three sites on here, yet when I change themes, I can’t even view my site to see what it looks like because there is no ‘View Site’ or ‘Design Mode’ and there seems to be no escape from edit mode.

  Why is WordPress so vague and cryptic?? Why can’t it be much more user friendly like Blogger?

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

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Are you referring to using the theme customizer?
