   Here's my blog: Link. For some reason the link doesn't show but you can click on anywhere in this post to see it (I don't know how that happened).

   I see no way to edit it.

   I've imported it into Microsoft FrontPage and can change the background and give it an image Header, but that's all. I cannot edit the text, i.e., the first post.

   I haven't tried to publish it from FrontPage because I'm not sure that's possible. Is it possible to edit the blog and publish from Front Page?

   Thanks,

   Bob

   No you shouldn't use Front Page to edit a WordPress blog. You would use a file editor to edit the files.

   Bob,
   On your right-hand sidebar - under the heading of "Meta", click "Login". This will allow you to access your wordpress admin section. In regards to FrontPage - Please do not use this piece of software for web development.... EVER! While FrontPage may enable a user who has no knowledge of html with the ability to create and publish a web page - it will absolutely butcher everything else.
   Hope this helps,
   -Mike

   Mike,

   Yes I know how bad Front Page is for coding. I use it to see how a page will look.

   Thank you for the tip. I didn't notice or know what "Meta" was. This should get me started.

   Thanks much,

   Bob

   But I can't log in. I've tried the username I used to register with wordpress and the password they gave me.

   And since my blog is hosted by my own hosting company, I tried my user/pass from them. Neither work.

   I suspect I should be using my hosting user/pass and the problem might be that I'm not quite set up with them yet. I transfered my domains to them not yet 72 hours ago. Should be ready later today.

   Or do you see a problem I haven't thought of?

   Your username will be admin and the password will be the one that you saw when you setup the blog, unless you didn't setup the blog yourself. Have a look here. The easiest option is number 5.

   1hank1,

   You're welcome:)

   Try admin as your username and the password that Wordpress sent you as the pass. There is no need to use your hosting provider's username and password to log into Wordpress administration.

   Hope this works,
   -Mike
