  Do you offer any teaching materials for teaching WordPress.com? Specifically, I would be teaching it in a traditional class room situation.

  Thanks!

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

  Can I assume there are no teaching materials readily available? And that, perhaps, it has been added to a wishlist somewhere?

  Here are some basics I will share with you.

  re: front page error message foundon every new .wordpress.com blog

  Nothing Found
  It seems we cannot find what you are looking for. Perhaps try a search?

  There is nothing wrong with your site. 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 front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
