   How do I tell which version of WordPress I have?

   Login and at the bottom of the Dashboard it shows the version. Or look at wp-includes/version.php.

   Is the dashboard the page that comes up when I go to forums and click on View Your Profile in the upper right hand corner? Because I don't see the version at the bottom of that page.

   And what is wp-includes/version.php ? Is that something that goes at the end of wordpress.com/ in the URL address? Because I show there is not such site as wordpress.com/wp-includes/version.php

   No. Log in to YOUR blog. Now, look at the bottom of every/any page.

   My blog is the dashboard?

   OK, another dumb question: How do I keep my blog from being visible. I just now applied a new theme, and haven't started writing it yet. Is it visible on the web? How do I know?

   You Dashboard is what you see after you login here:

   Yes your blog is visible, but so what. It looks good. Just Write a Post saying it is under construction.

   Thanks. I'd really like to write a tagline under the header that says what the purpose of the blog is. And to edit the About text. I looked through the Word Press Lessons text and don't see where it says how to do those things. Rather than keep coming back here, is there a better place that explains how to edit? I know how to add a blog entry.

   You will want to add the Template Tag, bloginfo, to your theme. Look at the wp-content/themes/default/header.php for an example.

    Thanks. I've made very minor changes to HTML in Blogger. I'm guessing the line of code that makes up a template tag is inserted into the code for my WP site. I'll ask around and see if I can find how to do that.
