so basically… here is where you can write anything you want. you can also use this form to upload pictures/videos. the three buttons below this box allow you to save or publish an entry, and below the uploading box is an option to delete an entry. on the right are different options for posting: you can create categories for filing entries, you can password-protect an entry, etc. pretty self-explanatory.
the screen you are on right now (“corbett’s amazing blag” and all options underneath title) is called the dashboard. to change the theme of your page, click “presentation.” to edit title or tagline, click “options.” from the main dashboard page you can view comments and edit posts.
the blogroll is a list of sites you frequent, and can be placed on the side or bottom of most layouts. obviously you don’t have to have a blogroll, but an example of one is historiain.wordpress.com. it looks like you have already figured this one out but just so you know, you can delete the two wordpress links the same way you add links.
so that is about it. and before you post a new entry don’t forget to delete this instructional one… otherwise you will look like an idiot.
