    Brand new to WordPress, just getting set up. But after I installed a theme there is no logon link to admin, etc.

    What is the process for me to logon as admin, and should I install a widget or something for future users to register (which is also missing in thhe new theme)?

    Add the meta widget to allow visitors to get a login link. In the meantime, if you installed WordPress in a subfolder called blog, you could get to the login at yourdomain.com/blog/wp-login.php

    Thanks MichaelH, the url you provided (yourdomain.com/yourblog/wp-login.php) worked great. I am wondering if the Meta widget should be added to the sidebar1 by default, as the removal of this bread crumb to the admin page is a trap that many will fall through.
