Step 5 above until you actually already have a
WordPress blog. You can see the blog by typing the name of your blog in a
browser. However, maybe you do not get along with the default look of
WordPress. You can start doing some settings on your WP blog, for example, make
the title of the blog, create a tag line or a short description, change themes,
install the widget and others.
1. Setting Blog WP
To make the settings in WordPress blog, you can do it
in your WP dashboard to open the link button "Settings". In the
settings there are sub-categories that you want to edit the settings. In my
opinion, the most important in this part is setting; Generally, writing,
reading, discussions, Here is a brief explanation:
v General: In this section you can change the title of a
blog with the title in accordance with the wishes, and also added a tagline for
your blog. Additionally, you can also do some other settings on this page, such
as adding an icon to blo, change the date and time format. Do not forget to
save the change that you did.
v Writes: In this section you can make arrangements in
writing, choosing a standard writing category.
v Reading: Here you can set the text that is displayed
on the main page of your blog. You can create static or dynamic pages, but my
advice because this is the blog so it is better if you show both dynamic pages.
On this page you can also specify the number of articles that appear on the
main page, and others. If you do not want a particular thing, let alone setting
on this page by default.
v Discussion - Here you can set how other people can
comment on your blog. If you do not want a particular thing, you should just
let the default settings on this page.
2. Design Blog WP
You can also change Themes and add widgets to your
WordPress blog. Organize themes and widgets can create a WP blog look better
and liking pelmilik blog. Open the link button "Views" in the
dashboard of your wordpress blog. I think the most important part here is
Theme, Widget, Menu. Here's a brief explanation:
v Theme: In this section you can choose the theme /
theme according to your wishes. At WordPress.com there are so many free themes
with a nice view. Note, do not choose a premium theme, choose a theme for free.

visible in the side bar of your WordPress blog. Note, do not put too much

v Menu: You can add some links to menus through this

and others, you can make it on this page.

The next step is to make post articles. To post an
article or any other content, either through a link button "Writing".
Note the link in your dashboard:
v All Posts: This is a link to view all posts an article
on your blog.
v Add new: this is a link to create posts / new content
in your blog.
v Category: This is the link to view or add a new
category in your wordpress blog.
To make a post on WordPress.com seems to me very easy,
even much more easily than with other platforms. You need to consider on the
page to create content is as follows:
v Title content: Create a title corresponding to the
content.
v Page content: You can add content in the form of text
(article), image, and video on this page.
v Menu formating: Note the formatting menu in WordPress
job page. You can add a link, set the text, change the color of text, add
images and videos, and others.

categories and tags for each of your content. This will allow you and your blog
readers to view content by category or specific tag.

the "Publish" which is on the right page WordPress work.
Well, after reading the above, of course, you can
create a blog WordPress itself yes. The steps described above is quite simple,
and if you want to make a blog look better, you can create even further.
However, you should know that WordPress.com imposes limits on the users in
editing the html code in WordPress blog.
