The first thing you should do after creating your site and logging in is change your password to something you’ll remember.

Click Users - Your Profile then on the bottom right of the page you will have the option to Update your password

The Dashboard

Once you login to your site button, you will be brought to the Dashboard. This is the default starting page of the administrative backend. From here you can click on several different tabs that will bring you to various pages wherein you can post new articles, edit your own posts or comments, update your user profile, and view your site, etc. This Tab allows you an overview of the recent activity on your site.

Write Tab

This tab is probably the one you’ll use the most. This is where site pages are written and published. This may be the most important tab of your site because it is where you write posts and create pages. The Write Page tab allows you, as you might expect to create a static page for your site.

For a more in-depth discussion of writing pages and posts and the options you have for each watch check out a more detailed tutorial from here.

Manage Tab

This is where you can edit your posts and pages; manage your uploads (1 mb limit); create and manage your categories; import content from a variety of different blogging platforms; and export your blog content to an XML file than can be uploaded to another free hosted blog or one that you yourself host.

For an in depth discussion of both the Manage and Options tabs watch the video tutorial available here.

Comments Tab

The comments tab is relatively straightforward. This is where you can mange, moderate, or delete any comments you receive on your site. To establish the settings for comments or turn off comments you need to go to the Options tab –>Discussion subtab (this is where all of the settings for writing, reading, commenting, etc are controlled).

Links

This is where you add, manage, and import links from various sources.

Presentation Tab

The presentation tab is where you control the overall look and feel of your blog/website. If you go to the presentations tab you will see a number of images that highlight different themes you can use for your site.

Depending on the theme, you can also further customize the look and feel of your blog/website.

Plugins Tab

Plugins extend and expand the functionality of WordPress, the engine that powers your site.

Users Tab

You can use the this tab to add other users to your site and control the level of permissions you wish to grant them. This is also where you edit your personal profile, such as changing your nickname, changing your password, adding your IM address, and various other personalized options such as an avatar.

Options Tab

The Options tab allows you to change many of the overall settings for your site. For example, you can use the subtabs within the Options page to change the site title, change the time zone, or add a brief description. The various subtabs allow you to control comments, reading and writing options for your blog. This also is where you control the privacy settings for your blog or even delete your blog entirely. Additionally, if you are adding plugin functionality, often times you control the settings for plugins within this tab (the plugin will often have an associated subtab on the Options page). There are many, many options housed within this tab, and it may be useful to read through this space in more detail here.
