    When I access my site, the WP Admin option is no longer available? Why is this?

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

    WordPress.com now offers two different interfaces.

    If you want to use the interface with the black left hand column, also called WP-Admin, you can access it by going to http://gongmeditations.wordpress.com/wp-admin

    Hope this helps!

    You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    *Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

    I recommend bookmarking that link or memorizing it.

    If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.

    If the login information has been lost go to
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-password

    If required use the account recovery form
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

    re: getting started

    You can start by setting up your theme and publishing some content as the site is already public and available to search engine spiders.

    Every theme has a detailed theme description page and this one is at https://wordpress.com/themes/hemingway-rewritten/ That’s where set up instructions for it are found. The live demo site is at https://hemingwayrewrittendemo.wordpress.com/

    You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

    http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.

    To use the customizer see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/

    For creating a post in the New editor see here http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/#publish-a-new-post
    For creating a page in the new editor see here
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/#create-a-new-page

    For editing in the new editor see:
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/
    http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/

    On the bottom of your Admin page you will find a link to the step by step Learn WordPress.com blogging Tutorial prepared by Staff. http://learn.wordpress.com/

    See also the “Video Quick Start” tutorial http://en.support.wordpress.com/video-quick-start/

    The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.

    Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
