This is the beginning of your online portfolio. To get started, we suggest you start with the following steps:

  1. Log into the site, get acquainted with the administration interface. (More on it here and here.)
  2. Review your settings, start by changing your title under Settings > General. You need to hit “Save” or “Update” to keep your changes. (More on Settings here.)
  3. Under “Users”, make sure you are OK with your display name and other profile settings.
  4. Review how to post, how categories work.
  5. Make sure you understand the post privacy settings.
  6. Maybe start by changing your “About” page?
  7. Basics of “Appearance”: themes, widgets, menus, header image.

Note: When you are in the backend of your site (ie, the administration area), you can get tips by clicking the “Help” menu on the top-right corner.
