Very New-Menu Problems

    I have my website up and everything looks great except to the right there are lists of things that I don’t want up there when others visit the site. I don’t really know what these things are and what they mean. Things like “blogroll” and under that “documentation,” “plugins,” “suggest ideas,” “support forum,” “themes,” “wordpress blog,” and “wordpress planet.” Also there are lists that say “meta” and “categories.”
    I don’t think these are things my readers will need on the page. I have tried but cannot figure out how to take them off. Thanks for any help!

    Also, how do I check the new email that I created for this site? Thanks!

    And another question….I created several “pages” thinking that I could categorize blog posts and put them onto those pages, depending up what the content was about. Can I do that? Or are all of those pages permanent and cannot have blog posts added to them regularly? Thanks!

    Go to ‘Appearance’, then ‘Widgets’ and put what you want in there instead of whats there at the moment.

    The things you see are the default items WordPress puts in there when you haven’t selected any widgets.

    The email thing: Not sure what you mean? You used an email address to register with? You just check that email account.

    Pages are static and don’t hold posts (generally). What you are probably wanting is Categories (under ‘posts’ in side menu). You can arrange parent categories and put posts in there.

    Ok, thank you! I think that fixed the problem! I signed up and was given the email that my username is…I’m not sure how or where to check it…

    IS this WordPress.com or WordPress.org you set up?

    This forum is for self-hosted WordPress sites (on your own server.)

    There are some big differences between the two, so if it’s WordPress.com you signed up to, the forum is here: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/

    When you register a new WordPress site on your own server, you register a username with your email address, so no need to log in at all.
