  1. […] It has all these awesome WordPress (wordpress.com + self-hosted) tutorials. Topics ranging from how to sign up your blog at WordPress.com to topics like Choosing a theme for your blog, and a lot […]

  2. I am totally new to WordPress and am trying to setup my first blog. I will probably have three blogs eventually. How will I refer each of my audiences to their respective blogs if their is only one domain name?

    Thanks,

    1. To develop the above thought further: The video starts off saying there is one username under which many blogs can be started. Later the video says there is one domain name. So I am wondering how the different blogs will be distinguinshed and how I will refer others to them. I am thinking that I will have to have a domain name for each of them for referral such as work.wordpress.com, family.wordpress.com, travel.wordpress.com, etc.

      Thanks,
      Larry

  3. Please tell me what the cost is to have this. I need security, etc.
    Thankyou

  4. I’ve always heard of blogs but never had a clue what they were or where they came from much less how to write one. I guess I’ll learn.

    I am very new to Blogging, so baby steps for me. More later when I have more information.

  6. When you sign up. You are asked to choose between “Gimmee a blog” and “Just a username, please”…what is the difference? Can switch back later if I change my mind?

    1. If you don’t already have a WordPress blog, you’ll want to click “gimme a blog.” When in doubt, take the blog.
