Welcome to the site! Thanks for your patience while everything gets going in earnest everyone, and thanks for the wonderful blogs you’ve already started putting together! I’ve just put together a mini-explanation on how some of the basic features of Wordpress work, and if you’re having any problems getting things working or want to know how to do something please do just go ahead and ask!

One thing I’d really recommend is that everyone tries to get a unique blog theme as soon as possible – the basic layout that comes with Wordpress looks a bit samey after a while, and there’s a really cool and easy-to-use interface for finding and installing new ones built into the site itself. Just go to the ‘appearance’ section and click ‘add new themes’!

Until then… keep writing!
